Not Far To Fall
Not Far To Fall...
Thank God I'm built so low,
So each time I fall I don't have far to go,
And it doesn't hurt as much you know.
Suffering of others consumes my heart,
Even as My World is Falling Apart.
Right now I can barely stand,
I won't ask for help,
I reach out my own Hand.
To another suffering worse then me,
So for at least in that moment my pain leaves.
I Think about The Damage I Did,
As I watch another Parent Bury there kid.
I Remember Every One Of My Sins,
As I watch others Deliver White Powder Poison.
Each Day My family Gets Closer to the Street,
I Don't laugh or Smile , Can't Sleep Don't wanna really Eat.
I take a breath & let my mind rest,
I learned long ago that only through constant pain & suffering is something like me at it's Best.
Falling is what I do, being lost what I know,
So when I Fall there isn't Far To Go.
Cuz it's usually in a hole where I come face to face with Self & Soul .
So Yes
Thank God I'm Built So Low.
