The Furthest Fall

Shadows never fall
Shadows only follow
(I abstain, I admit)
Like the shadows follow gold
Money's only one resolve
The tallest tale's the furthest fall
Broken and then crawl
To the tallest tower
(I partake, my mistake)
Sell out and then glower
Over every dollar lost along the way
Though I'm sorry, I still pay and pay
Losing sight of meaning
Off we go careening
(Sticks and stones, I'm alone)
Into terror always seen
Our shining colors boldly gleam
Over every cement grave
No one will be saved
The less we have the safer
(Just one vote doesn't help)
A vote is rarely brave if fake
Another fraud is all it takes
This is a sorry state

Watch tower, no soil
We'll freeze while they boil
This poison air, all is fair
Your keeper: Grim Reaper
There's no trade left to make fair
This weight to bear - unequal share

Just wait for an island to fall into the sea
Then we'll sell it to a realty
There's nothing real about estate
If it's commerce then that's all it takes

Watch tower, no soil
They'll freeze while we boil
This poison air, all is fair
Your keeper: Grim Reaper
There's no trade left to make fair
This weight to bear - unequal share

There's nothing real about estate
If it's commerce then that's all it takes
There's nothing real about estate
If it's commerce then that's all it takes
If it's commerce then that's all it takes
