Everyone Falls

(*Beth Thornley)
Underneath the clothes we’re wearing*
Scars we all carry; some that don’t fade
And they read just like a roadmap
Time cuts a deep track through skin and vein
But you know everyone falls sometimes; don’t they all?
You know bridges get burned sometimes as we cross
Don’t we all fall?
I’ve been faking it for so long;
Trying to hold on, trying to get by
It’s just so hard getting over the going under
Time after time
Time calls your name and we’re not the same
Time calls your name and we’re all afraid
Time calls your name and we’re not the same
