Held up by rotting beliefs and hope
I know that I am going to fall
It's inevitable, and yet I still stand
Trying to be strong, I stand tall.
But I feel it coming, like a dreadful storm
It howls and shakes at my foundations
My collapse will, no doubt, be catastrophic
Like the ruinous fall of unshakable nations.
I used to be renowned, loved by all
Now, I'm just a crumbling mess
No one sees me, no one knows of me
It's hard to believe that I used to impress.
I look back on the life I used to have
I'd do anything to have it back again
To be happy and careless, it's my dream
But that's all that it'll ever be, for that was then.
I start to sway, broken and defeated
The end is now, there's no escape from this
With one last cry, I tumble and plunge
Melting into destruction's poisonous kiss.
