Rusting Away

in scene one, i was at the top, 
then the camera glitches
in scene two, i was in the motion of free fall

now all i can do is write about my pain,
that's how my days rusted and all of it is now in vain
i didn't held the ropes tight and i fell on the ground

it all feels so nostalgic, thinking about last year
i was working hard, giving blood and tears
for 'golden days' that deserted me away
