Nick Webber - Parabola Lyrics

Oh to be grounded again
Oh to be anything at all
The toppled tree, the twisted, mangled limb
Oh what a terrible fall
At the bottom of the staircase
Crying in a crumpled heap
Careless boy, you took it all too fast
Knocked out your milk teeth

Is this your fate
Forever falling away
It's getting late
The sun's gone and you're so afraid
You'll never make it back

Oh to feel grounded again
Oh to feel anything at all
When the sower went to scatter seed
Did you determine its fall
Some fell on the fertile soil
Some got choked by the thorns
As for me, I often wonder why
You ever let me be born

Standing on the precipice
Of what you wish you'd never witnessed
Pin your eyelids open wide
Take it in, the hurt, the sin
Two thousandshousand years of bastardizing
What you call the words of life
Whatever helps you sleep at night

Face your fate
Forever falling astray
It's getting late
The sun's gone and you're so afraid
Fake your faith
Forsake the love you first claimed
Your face has changed
You're drowning in the hell that you made
Will you ever make it back
