we'll all fall into the earth

 

you drift, you sigh, and you pace

shine dull like a ghost, that’s haunting this place

your hair in your eyes
your secrets and lies

they cover your face

 

and i watch you drown, you drown in your wine

as the weight of the world, is curving your spine

you bend to its will
to gravity's pull

to the ticking of time

 

and we'll all fall, into the earth somehow

battered and broken, or shining and hopeful

that’s the choice we will make

 

but throughout, these minutes and hours

these decades and centuries, these signals and signs
you are just a shadow
you are just an echo

you are just a sigh

 

so while, these tyrants conspire

the jury forsakes you, and justice expires

you'll laugh from their prison

you'll drink up their poison

you'll swallow and smile

 

because no one ever told you the man in the moon

was the devil, in disguise

until one day you realized the one that you loved

was the mirror, in your mind

that’s been robbing you blind

 

and we'll all fall, into the earth somehow

battered and broken, or shining and hopeful

that’s the choice we will make

 

and we'll all turn, back into dust, i've learned

battered and broken, or shining and hopeful

that’s the choice we will make
