When the World Comes Down

ONLY PARAGRAPHS DIVIDE

WHERE REACTIONS STILL INCISE

WHERE DECEIT CAN DRAG THIS OUT

WHEN YOUR WALLS COLLAPSE, AND DEFENSES CRUMBLE

 THIS IS THE SINKING SOUND

 WHEN THE WORLD COMES DOWN

 AND IT FEELS SO WRONG BUT I KNOW WE’RE ABANDONED NOW

I HAVE NOTHING LEFT BUT TRUTH

I HAVE BREACHED THOSE DEADLY SINS

NOW ALL I BELIEVE WITH CERTAINTY

THERE’S A WAR OUTSIDE AND WE DON’T KNOW WHERE IT ENDS

 THIS IS THE SINKING SOUND

 WHEN THE WORLD COMES DOWN

 AND IT FEELS SO WRONG BUT WE KNOW WE’RE ABANDONED NOW

MY ESCAPE IS FROM A WORLD I CLAIMED

YOU OWE ME NOTHING, LET ME FEEL THE SAME

LET ME IGNORE THE WAYS I STORED AWAY THIS SHAME AND I’LL GIVE YOU NOTHING

AS THE STEWARD OF MY CROWN

 THIS IS THE SINKING SOUND

 WHEN THE WORLD COMES DOWN

 AND IT FEELS SO WRONG BUT I KNOW WE’RE ABANDONED NOW
