Shallows Of The Mind

Falling is easy
getting up can be worse  
pillars collapsing    
whole life in reverse.  
   
Meat gone rotten  
baby left unbathed  
love long forgotten  
been raining for days.      
   
Trouble and turmoil  
late night killers for sure  
tension's exhausting  
can't take it no more.  
   
Piled high, piled wide  
these troubles of mine  
born deep into the muddy  
shallows of my mind  
   
Get out my jaw    
no room for rent round here  
every beds been called on  
you can look, don't stare.  
   
Climb out, he sings,   
climb out be strong  
You got it in you  
don't do me no wrong.  
   
When the walls are closing in  
gear up don't stall  
help kick em' in  
sit back, watch em' fall.  
   
Easy to say  
peddling backwards in the rain    
falling is easy    
getting up just the same.  
   
Try it once if you wish  
three times if you must   
cause falling ain't easy  
getting up takes guts.
