The Fall

Down the deepest pit I fall.

What brought me here?

I can’t recall.

Is it ever gonna end or will I grasp something?

As I fall, memories, they come back.

Things I thought I forgot about.

All these things that we left unsaid.

All these words that didn’t come out right.

We stand still, we remain silent.

It’s fear that holds us back.

I can see the faces of the ones I love.

I can hear their voices calling me.

I think of everyone I wish I knew better.

I think of everything I wish I’d said.

Why do we have to keep a comfortable distance?

Why do we have to keep it comfortable?
