Alarm Song

by ZoeHolden

What roof are you climbing or did you already fall and break? You know it's going to hurt but you can't resist the take 'Cause problems feel less real when you're the only one awake But be careful oh my angel, new ones always come out late Do you even care that your heavens' fallings are at stake Oh what was a careful girl in search of the cation-less Go ahead and ring the bell, she's been dying for too long Heart shells empty and fall full from above Let her sky go on, it's so torn up down here Choirs calling out to the moonlight (sing, sing, sing) Take the fall on open wings Let the self-taught be free (fall, fall, fall) Let her go, it's all so freeing now When you're at the sky fall Take it all in, watch as she flies Leave me behind And she was hiding troubles, such downtrodden things And we, we couldn't save her, we didn't know the way But she was so full, stars felt their first glow All because she took the fall and we didn't make her stay What a terrible price the good always seem to pay I'm not talking of death, heaven's gates aren't for today But leaving all you know takes breathing pains away 'Cause oh the air down low it's so heavy with our sin But the air up high is so unimaginably thin Only angels fly when it's so hard to live off heaven's falling glow Let her go, it's all so freeing now When you're at the sky fall Take it all in, watch as she flies Leave me behind
