Will You Stand Up for Me?

I thought I was flying
I closed my eyes and leaned into the wind
But I found I was lying
At the foot of the landslide again

Waving a [ripped cape]
Watching the pylons [ ] to the flames
[Fall] black pit yawned beneath me
Between my boots and behind my brain

See the phantoms capture loose laughter
And drown it deep into the hungry sea
So you see me sinking down
See me sinking down
See me sinking down and you’re still around
Will you stand up for me?

Will you stand up for me?
Like you used to do for all times sake
The calendar says what [ ]
But I’ve been losing more than I can take

I thought I was dreaming
Wearing that necklace of broken teeth
But its colors [and] the rainbow went missing
When those [pills] got [shifted] from my sheet

Fall into the carpet
Watching the willow loose its leaves
And flinching like the target
When the arrow is released

See the moth tremble the light [ ]
Passed for butterflies a lousy [ ] flutter those wings
You see me slowing down
You see me slowing down
You see me slowing down and you’re still around
You see me slowing down and you’re still around
You see me slowing down and you’re still around

Will you stand up for me?
