I Fall

Cleaned and shaved thinking that’ll do
out and about running blue
Tempted by the light that natures gives 
Beckons to heal my soul -
to no avail

An empty course flies through my veins 
Little left to guide me sane
Depressed in the light of day
Chained to darkness wrath’s, I lay prey

Escape my reality, with smiles on my face -
to have the weight of reality way in -
Heavy hearted I fall
