Fall away

Clinging to the shadows
A dark character moves
no second look to comfort him
off he goes without a nod

the light that this man used to give
faded with the years
his soul distraught his conscience fickle
and his humanity drains away
and is going to go as he heads for the heights.

A man that's broken down and fallen
or is he falling?
wait and watch
don't catch him
that would ruin the fun
of watching his humanity leave for good.

Clinging to the shadows
the man he moves towards a roof
that song he once heard plays somewhere distant
a remnant of an old mind.

Up Up he goes,
move faster, freedom is a jump away
an open door
a bright welcoming light
towards the edge, your audience awaits.

A man that's broken down and fallen
or is he falling?
wait and watch
don't catch him
that would ruin the fun
of watching his humanity leave for good.

Come along shadow man,
take your time.
collect the sheep way down below watching your
sudden thoughts of a decline.

The people he depended on,
watch on jeering
waiting; cheering
when will he die and rise again
that all he heard of what they said.

The broken man he takes a breath
and tries a running jump,
over he goes and down he plunges
they take a breath
what happens next?

A man that's broken down and fallen
or is he falling?
wait and watch
don't catch him
that would ruin the fun
of watching his humanity leave for good.

Freedom is a jump away the man sings flying high
the wings I grew are the symbol
I'm using as goodbye.
