What does it take to make a man

What does it take to keep him safe

Sometime the love

Is not enough

To stop the world

From breaking - him

Where does he go

When closes his eyes

A place that only he knows

The place where he's safe

From all that's in place

With designs on it's face to break him

Tearing away at the fabric of time

Clawing for some light through the rain

This is the way

At least for today

Until the sun blasts the abandon away

Flashes of colour and the warm embrace

Of alcohol afternoon takes place

The din, the smoke, the laughter

The memories burned into flesh hereafter

Falling down

Falling down
