Fallen Angel
your life’s in a rut
you’re stuck in second gear
quickly losing all you’ve ever held dear
all your ambitions
all your life’s missions
no longer exist in your mind
the things you’ve done were all in vain
nothing you’ve found eases the pain
you want to end it all this very night
you tried to climb to the top
only failing to see
that maybe making it was never your destiny
you’ve no more strength to carry on
your life’s struggles have lasted too long
the ballad of your life is the saddest song
you dive from up high
flying like a fallen angel at last
letting go of your grievous past
the people finally see you from down below
finally see you drowning in sorrow
your time has now come and passed
as your body rains from the skies
everybody finally hears your desperate cries
but it’s too late to help you now
you’re falling down
falling toward your very end
leaving behind no family or friend
you hit the ground
now the world gathers round
staring in wondrous horror
you lie there in death
having breathed your last breath
suffering your life no more
