somehow, slowly
I fell out of it
maybe it was when
I opened my eyes to
prettier things, like
bicycles parked under
trees bearing red leaves,
like the way the willow branches
fell next to the lake, like
looking out of the window
at 6am and seeing the sky
light up, like
feeling the sun after the rain
the sweet humidity
maybe it was during all of those
moments, or maybe it was none
but I accidentally fell out of it
with you

Would you ever fall for someone like me?

Someone who's heart has been broken,

But she's gluing the pieces together.

Would you ever fall for someone like me?

Someone who cares *so much,

But gets nothing in return.

Would you ever fall for someone like me?

Someone who puts others before herself,

So she felt wanted and helpful.

Would you ever fall for someone like me?

Someone who already fell.

She's having trouble getting back up.

She's surviving and not living.

Her heart beats for you...

But would you ever fall for someone like me?

I can't believe
I actually thought that

You liked talking to me
You liked having me around
You liked me being your friend

I fell for it
I fell for your tricks
I fell for your charm
I fell for you

And I'm an idiot.

Fell
Stuck in a well
Halve way to Hell
Down
Will I be found
So way underground
Hard
My body is charred
I drew my last card

Like humpty dumpty I sat on my wall
I'm not the same after that first fall
They patched me together and placed my back
Only to repeat it crack after crack
They kept putting me back on that ledge
All the king's men made me a pledge
They wouldn't let me fall they would catch me instead
But I think they really wanted me dead
Till my kinght in shing armour so noble and honest
Made me the greatest of all promise
He'd be there to protect me even from myself
He would never let me fall from that very high shelf
He would protect me from all that would harm
Now if I fall it will be into his arms

What was it like before
Before we fell
Before we ended up here
In this darkened place
That feels like hell
Can you tell me please
I don't remember
Maybe I shouldn't
It would just add to it
Was we happy
Was skies blue
What was it like before
Before we fell

I prayed for rain fall for 100 years and not a drop fell,
Through the kingdom grew our depleted wells,
Of knowledge and virtue, a gift so strong,
And the mystics preach their ageless songs,

We wither, wasting away under the dim lit fog,
They are to us as we to a dog,
The stars are blackened by wrath of gods,
the world is trapped in mother's jaws,

Her nature is that of the beast,
Her carnage crosses due east,
I pray for help on the beach,
Coals of hell will burn their feet,

So help your neighbor for he is you,
And believe in yourself and those around you,
and take care of anyone near the end,
Because sometimes we too are close to the bend,

Candle wax melted like the seasons gone
Burnt wick from the absent flame
You cursed my breathe
For I have caused my own darkness

The bygone evenings without a sound
Hear the high pitch scream once more
For the bell no longer tolls in time
And the crimson river flows down my arm

On my knees, I stopped and fell down
