Ashes, Ashes We All Fall Down

“Ring around the rosie.
A pocket full of posies.
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.”

We’ll all fall, all fall from grace.
No chance for help or saving face.
A day will come when we are exposed
For the evil we are, not that good that’s supposed.
A day will come when our masks will melt
And all raw feelings will have to be felt;
When we can no longer hide, or perform the charade,
And live in the hell that ourselves we have made.
Yeah, we’ll all fall, all crash and burn,
And ashes, ashes we’ll become in return.

Author notes

I really don't know where the hell this came from. I like it a lot though.

Mix of 26-Falling from Grace and 62-We all fall down. Hope that's ok.
