World Falling
Watch my world crumble down,
cave in, once noble walls;
see the paint chips peeling
downward, the fairytale falls.
Here I am underneath
trying to hold it up, trying to hold
but it keeps pushing down
sooner or later I'm going to fold.
Can't you see: I can't do this,
can't go on like this forever
I'm going to crack before their eyes
won’t be able to: keep it together.
Watching all I ever had be destroyed;
feel your eyes upon my back
feel your nails down my skin,
clawing down hoping I'll crack;
you're trying really hard
and my head is spinning with your tales
my lips burn from you lies
watching my defenses fail.
My body shakes by your words
and I feel it all beginning to crumble
my heart aches as I: behold you
and I know I am going under.
Watch my world cave in
Atlas could not hold it anymore,
my stomach is churning from your touch
again you spew blasphemy, mouthing “Whore.”
And I have listened to you lies long enough
my lips bleed from continual recitation
of all the things you said to me
what created such provocation?
