Falling or Flying

Falling
Always falling
Falling from grace
Falling from rooftops
To pavements made of marshmallows
Only to fall again
How do you do it?
Falling
And falling
So fast and so far
Never really landing, never really stopping
How do you breathe when you fall?
How do you sleep when you fall?
How do you live when you fall?

You have everything
And nothing
Where did all of this come from
When you have nothing to wish for
Yet everything to hope for
And it all to achieve
Falling away with you are the memories
That only you could ever have
The things that happened
Oh, I'm so sorry
I really am
But somedays nobody dies
I thought you were nobody

Why are you still falling?
When are you going to land, die, end?
We'll never know
It's just something you're going through
Will you survive?
You hope not

You've written this before
Telling yourself time and again to jump
Jump and fall
You never jumped
Why didn't you jump?
Scared.
Always scared, of everything and nothing
Of losing and failing
And falling
Falling

When you touch base, those marshmallow pillows
Made of steel and stone
Will you be thinking
Of him?

I just want to ask you one thing
Before you blast off and touch down:
Was it worth it?
Was any of it worth going through
When you're going to waste it now?
Just land already!
The feeling of flying's becoming a bore
You know you want to end it now
Sooner rather than later
Right?

So go on
Stop falling, Lauren
You've jumped;
Now land.
