Fall Harder

(album: Still Here - 2017)

All I'd ever kept in mind
Somehow I'd forgotten
I'd do well to shut my mouth
If only for a while
I believe it's been my faults
That separate
I would rather slit my throat
Better than to let you go

I could never lift your load
Full-time with a winged arm
I could never feel that whole
Fall harder, fall harder

I can barely hold my step
From the weight I'm towing
I would never keep you there
Only I would come undone
I don't want to lose someone to a lapse of mind
Trapped in comatose
I don't want to need someone if I can't turn back
Stuck for what it's worth

I could never lift your load
Full-time with a winged arm
I could never feel that whole
Fall harder, fall harder
I'd be living with your ghost
Stuck in a photograph
I could never fill that hole
Fall harder, fall harder

Sewn you into memory lines
A thought that won't unfurl
Only one, only one decides
The rest are blurring lines
Thoughts begin to complicate
To blur a static line
Only one, only one design
A fixture not a false

I could never lift your load
Full-time with a winged arm
I could never feel that whole
Fall harder, fall harder

I could never lift your load
Full-time with a winged arm
I could never feel that whole
Fall harder, fall harder
I'd be living with your ghost
Stuck in a photograph
I could never fill that hole
Fall harder, fall harder
