Ruins

how do you know

if it's thick or thin

breaks at the end

dissolves in your hands

before you let go?

don't steal me

don't steal me with that gray stare

I've been there before

and the walls were bare

I've got trophies

I'll show you my little angel wings

defend me, but don't let me lose these things

I'm falling

and I fear I'll meet you going up again

falling too fast, the crazy sky bends

oh did you hear me?

did you hear me call?

was it like a chorus of Euripides

leaking through a cloud?

well I saw you down there

I saw you so small

but you were gone somewhere

before I hit the ground

now I'm falling

and I fear I'll meet you going up again

slow me down before this crazy sky bends

so I wait in the trees

wait for someone to breathe

wait for someone like me to fall first

and when they fall

they fall in two or three pieces
