Falling In
Falling In
I’m falling in a trap, sliding down the hill
Tumbling, bouncing, rolling, just like Jack and Jill
Broken like the dishes, laying in the floor
Hearing the gusting wind blow, with a mighty roar
Turning in my shackles, bound within these chains
Now comes bad weather, pelting me with rain.
Feeling peoples energy thumping in my brain
Traveling swiftly down like an old freight train.
The tapping on my head, and beating on my chest
Imagining I must look, like a weathered leather vest
Resigned to my misery, waiting for the morn
Resting, waiting, wondering as my body they adorn
I see them looking down to my body at rest
As they point my feet towards the river to the west
Now I hear a song, sounds like Sara McLaughlin
Darkness settles in they’re closing my coffin
