lyrics

I am falling falling falling through the sky
Chilled air surrounds me
And I just keep falling

I am young
5 maybe 6
Sitting on a bench alongside my mother
She reads me the Twelfth Night
And yet I’m still falling

Falling onto the grass
Ring around the Rosy
Familiar faces
Familiar face, but faceless
My soul aches

Rising up
Growing older
Running
Laughing
Long grass grazes my legs
Skirt caught in the wind
The boy smiles back at me
Faceless

Falling into
Cream colored layers
A wedding
Ivy scraping the walls
Faceless standing at the alter

Birth
Unknown song
Within my brain I guess the melody
My mother gave to me
My father gone
A stranger to me

I am falling
From the roof of a barn
Into the sheets
People standing over me
Grave faces
Familiar faces, but faceless faces
The sheets are soft
I feel even colder
