His crazy frame against the dawn
|
His hungry leap and ragged fall
|
A suicidal perch is now laid bare
|
To searching eyes and empty stares
|
A fearful silence hits the crowd
|
The air hangs heavy with the sound
|
Of useless wings against the morning sky
|
As paper yields before their eyes
|
|
Oh, can you see him now?
|
A broken man without a dream
|
Oh, can you hear him now?
|
A futile laugh above the screams
|
