Boy Goliath - I Fell Down Lyrics
If I fell from the top of a riverWould you watch until I hit the groundCounting my fingers and teethOunce for ounce, and pound for poundWater rising and forcing a shiverFills my mouth 'till I'm new to make soundForearms bruised, and blackened, and weakWhere you squeezed and said I won't let you drownIf my lungs start failing to deliverOxygen that I breath to my brainThen I promise that I'll leave the roomSo you don't see me going insaneAnd my fingers sit still in their quiverWhile my eyes rest intent and mundaneWhile your face watches worried and paleYour lips whisper don't do this againI sunk deep in my old faded t-shirtsToo old to throw out, too deprivedThey remember me saying I love youAnd me thinking it's alright to dieThey remember my cold-white affectionLike snow you wear on your insidesThey remember me thinking I hate thisThat I'm not making this out aliveThey remember my constant conflictionThinking "why might a god have to hide?"They remember my constant resistanceEvery time that I opened my eyesThey remember me pushing them outwardsOff the bed as I lied on my sideThey remember me falling asleepBeing scared half to death back to life
