When you see the truth beneath the ideals of something you believed in and now question.
The power of the fall from grace
For one who wanted to believe
Is like a runner
In a race
Realizing he cannot breathe
First fear grips
Then shame strips
And anger rips
As air slips
Past his lips and into his heavy heart
Suddenly
With reddened face
He sees his place
And tries to brace
From reality’s burning dart
You can not hide
From truth
You lied
You cannot take it back
Too late regret
Your fate is set
Breaks screaming down the track
The power of the fall from grace
For those in whom I once believed
Makes me run full out the other way
Just so I can breathe.
