Falling Down

Take me, I’m tainted, I’ve told you before
An open book, but a closer look shows pages creased and torn
Morals and quarrels that contradict and crack
The soapbox ain’t a building block to dish out your payback

Stroke me, I’m broken, but able to ignore
I don’t rely or deify some merciless mentor
Lacking or cracking? Your puzzle missed a piece?
We vandalise or evangelise and find the sweet release

While some might pray and others weep
There’s thosе who chant while others sleep
But I’m falling
I’m falling
Whatevеr gets you through the night
I’m a little mixed-up but it’s justified cos I am
I’m falling, I’m falling
I’m falling down

Teaching and preaching and claiming as a fact
They seem the same in all but name, they just wear different hats
Grooming, cocooning to scare us into straight
But why’s the height of righteousness to never liberate?

While some might pray and others weep
There’s those who chant while others sleep
But I’m falling
Whatever gets you through the night
I’m a little mixed-up but it’s justified cos I am
I’m falling
I’m falling down

I’m falling
I’m falling
Now one side fights ‘bout who’s more right
So alternative arguments amplify
So now I’m falling down
I’m falling down
