Cayendo

The merchant's on top, the poet's in exile,
The forbidden utopia and your smile's gone.
A soldier tattoos a heart on his skin,
A clown's crying in an alleyway.
The dowser's in ruins, the minstrel's in jail,
And your favorite lie's on the TV screen.
Two ants are making love,
My voice drowned out by the roar of an engine.

As I'm falling,
As I'm falling,
As I'm falling,
I'm falling.
I'm the taxidermist, the lighthouse keeper, and the fool.
The meaning of my life is contradiction.
The world's crumbling all around me,
And I'm holding my breath.

As I'm falling,
As I'm falling,
As I'm falling,
I'm falling.
The world's crumbling all around me,
And I'm holding my breath.

As I'm falling,
As I'm falling,
As I'm falling,
I'm falling.
