Fall Once Again
Do I remember correctly
how to conduct a love story
I must admit
it's been a little longer than a fortnight
it's been a little longer than a month
Can I still tell the tale of roses at my feet
Is it possible for me to still be able
to hear the music of the wind
to hear everything in a mix of joy around me
like it used to be
or does that rain cloud of haunting gray
still hover over me
With a weighted sigh
I believe it so
for I heard the roll of thunder
and a flash of lightening
so I fall once again into my hands
but saved by the blunt of my chin
Voices, the voices
and the emptiness
are the void inside me that I just can't escape
yet I find they are just a waste of my time
The memories and the comatose I fell in
is it over, I believe it's over
but I've been wrong before
Still it didn't stop me from
waking up, throwing open my eyes
to throwing away
all I held onto so tightly
into a telescope
a hollow message in the bottle
and toss it as far as I could chuck it
so someone else could gaze
at the galaxy I once called my own
Did I let it all fade out, burn out
like a dying star
Why didn't the voices I hear
show me the way to truth
Why didn't the very songs I've come to love
show me truth
but in all honesty
Cavo said one thing I still cling to
'I've got to let it go'
