Come back a broken man
Inside, inside
It's more than he could stand
Beside, besides
There's not much left to stand on
But skeleton houses and
Flooded fair grounds
Packed with drowning trees
Forget the master plan
He tried, he tried
Foundation in the sand
His life his life
His brain was moving half the speed
Of his stomach which dropped right past his knees
At terminal velocity
It's a cold and lonely free-fall
Through misty tears and blurred peripheral
Of sentences said when they could be
Affordable useless
But now not even mountains listen
They spit his words back in opposition
An echoing chamber of firelight cast from his burning cognition
The falling burning broken man
Cursed the fast approaching land
And fell to his knees
At terminal velocity
