Here we go,
Falling into life from birth,
Cascading toward death with every step.
Every illusion,
Every price,
Every thought
Is lodged in the walls of the life.

Look, there's the infancy we grew out of,
The childhood we let go of.
The innocence we left behind,
Because we couldn't take it with us
As we fell.

There's the freedom we couldn't hold onto,
Our independence fading away.
There's our dreams,
Flying away from us with every day,
Every minute,
Every second.

We can see peace
Looming above us as we fall.
There is our hope
That we couldn't hold onto for long.
There's the words we said,
The things we thought,
The ways we acted
All turning out to mean
Absolutely nothing,
Because we fell too fast
Before we could hold onto it.
