Fallen

Have you seen him
go through the motions of an unrequited love,
a God damned fool.
He didn't want to look, mistake what he mistook for, oh, so long.

He could not answer why
When asked what and how do you feel.
And he'd try and he'd try…
believe he was not what he despised.

He did not want to live this life
Convulsion and toil breed strife.
What a person and what a man
that with nothing can make a stand

Have you seen it?
Seen what she's put him through even though he's been true
to his word.
He couldn't stand to watch his own self bleed, to stay, deny his need to live again.

He did not want to pry
those fingers wrapped fast round his eyes.
And he'd try and he'd try…
believe he was not what he despised

He did not want to live this life
Convulsion and toil breed strife
What a person and what a man
that with nothing can make a stand.

He cried for you. He cried for you.
