Run for a Fall

Do not use the past as an alibi For all of your deficiencies always standing by Face your negligence, do not fool yourself Shortcomings will soon appear For weakness shows itself Blind from your success and all of the excess Deaf from the praise you had Don't cry out of self pity in forcing your way through For I will not be vulnerable to slander made by you In a misty veil, misplaced Where castles in the air will be no longer seen As something out of reach In time the dream will be erased So many things will never be the way they seemed And pride will have it's fall at last Her eyes fell while the shame was written on her face When she realised that her failures could never be undone again You did not notice the manipulated hand That overshadowed your thoughts all those years That made you insecure You did not notice the ancient shifting sand That pulls you down into an everlasting sham You will never be able to fight Never be able to hide Run for a fall, you'd better run
