Falling

Falling

Smile and save the tears
for the hard times that will fall.
We will fall.
Like falling rain,
the pain remains.
We will fall.
It will not fade,
my memories,
they fall like wilted flower petals.
And we will fall,
like the Mona Lisa
off the wall.
With a false smile,
all-knowing eyes
she falls.
And it will all fall,
like leaves in the fall,
we will fall.
Like the Roman Empire,
like the government,
we'll fall.
It will all crash down around us,
everything we've built,
we will burn it down.
Tonight I'll spread the ashes,
and they'll fall like acid rain.
It will all fall down,
and I'll fall down,
like we once fell together.
We will fall,
like rain on the desert,
like snow on thirsty ground.
We will fall like night
on sleeping cities,
like bread to the hungry.
We will fall like the clouds,
slow-moving towards the sun,
like the sun’s rays
on a darkened world.
We will fall,
and it will all fall with us.
Every city, every person,
all the mountains will fall.
The sky will fall,
and the ocean.
The whole world will fall.
And the trees will fall,
and we will fall,
and we will pull it all down with us.
Like petals drooping
off the flower, we will fall.
We will fall.
