A Better Place to Fall

Katelyn's picture

I need a better constitution
I need a higher resolution
Just to find
A better place to fall

Murd'rous eyes stare from
Empty souls
Hungry for someone
To hurt
The only ones to recognize
What I'm truly worth
They pass me by,
Unnoticed for another night

I need a better reason
Don't wanna fight the treason
I'll follow all the screamin' to
A better place to fall

Go fight the revolution
I'll drown in convulution
Still waiting for
A better place to fall

Drink the words
And spill the blood
How much death
Is enough?
Leave a path
Of roses black
Recognize the pain
Twist the fiction
Into fact
And see it's all in vain

I'll close my eyes
And say goodbye
Until I find
A better place to fall

Go on, try
Try to find
A better place to fall
