The feeling of falling is intoxicating
But only because rising would be inevitable
You never sit at the bottom for too long
Before the hand on your head lets you gasp for air
And suddenly you're soaring
And sheets of rain could fall down
And leave you chilled right to the bone
But in the end, the rain is water and it can't kill on its own
It's the lightning crack that marks the storm and leaves us freezing in the cold
But if you breathe in deep, you can almost taste that bolt before it falls
With just one step, you can survive electric shocks amidst your soul
I beg you to take a breath and just keep on walking home
Because you're only falling
You haven't fallen quite yet
You still have youth
And time to rise again
And if you're walking and every day it seems to rain
Look down and focus on the cement and what within it lays
Watch the dandelions, they grow amongst the cracks between your feet
And how they've somehow fought through dirt and stone to stand alone and breathe
Despite their beauty, we call them a disease
That consumes, destroys and spreads as it may please
Before a hand comes by and sweeps them off their feet
At least you're not a dandelion
And if you breathe in deep, you can almost taste that bolt before it falls
With just one step, you can survive electric shocks amidst your soul
I beg you to take a breath and to just keep on walking home
Because you're only falling
You haven't fallen quite yet
