Before the Fall

Holding your breath

What were they all waiting for?

Closer to death

Closer than every before

Hope is just a thing that you say

A shining light that is guiding our way

The edge is just a step away

So many leaps of faith

To take before the fall

Losing your hold

Eating the world from inside

Don't you let go

Take it or leave it behind

The day that I could talk I was told

The moment that I walked

I was shoved to the ground

The day that I was bought I was sold

The moment that I swam

I was drowned in the sea
