Falling Face First

Young boy grows up in South Carolina

Wakes on 8 in the morning, this world's got nothin' for ya

He goes missing like a blue moon for about an hour

Comes back home to an empty house full of silence

That grows louder and louder and louder

Deep at night heard you breeze through the window

And he re-reads and re-writes the letter that he wrote

Back and forth voices tell him secrets

Do not, do not, do not, yes do

But please don't tell momma that this coming for you

I miss the way you look so sad when you're falling face first through the air

Young boy goes to sleep and wakes up a man

Blue moon comes back around but

He don't turn back to shake his mother's hand

Momma's crying, she's crying out blood

Slowly dying

She's calling out, when she's calling out, Momma's dying

She's crying out blood

Slowly, slowly dying

She's calling out, when she's calling out

I'm singin'

I miss the way you look so sad when you're falling face first through the air

The sun is setting while the moon is rising

The stars alignin'

His heart is pounding

He can feel it in his feet

He can feel it in his throat

He can feel it in his hands

As he walks up to the edge

He doesn't feel life anymore

The sea upon the shore

100 feet above the shore

He drops the letter that he wrote

I miss the way you look so sad when you're falling face first through the air
