The Collapse

Built it slow

Board by board

Every storm

I stood it out

Patched the cracks

Painted over

Told myself

It would hold

One more thing

One more blow

Something in me

Let go

It all comes down Slow and quiet Nothing left to hold Nothing

left to fight It all comes down Like it was always Waiting

for this Waiting for me

Nothing special

Just one

more

Same as the rest

Same old door

But the frame gave out

The walls went soft

The floor let go

And I let it

One more thing

One more blow

Something in me

Let go

It all comes down

Slow and quiet

Nothing left to hold

Nothing left to fight

It all comes down Like it was always Waiting for this

Waiting for me

Quiet now

Dust in the light

All those years

Holding the sky

Who was it for

Who was it for

It all came down

Slow and quiet

Nothing left to hold

Nothing left to fight

It all came down Like it was always Waiting for this

Waiting for me

Quiet now

Nothing standing (it all

came down) (it all came down)

(it all

came down)
