Enigma Weekend Edition: "Falling Apart"
Falling Apart
Josiah Inman
Life has went away
while I’ve gone astray.
Please tell me what to do,
I never want to choose.
It falls around me,
The tribes say it’s due to chi.
I need but to open my eye
to see all the people cry.
Pain is the promise I will keep,
I will bring it while you weep.
I am the whisper in the night,
Hear me while the tears blur your sight.
There is no longer any hope,
How will I cope?
I am within the grips of dark,
I have now been made the devil’s mark.
Please let me escape!
I don’t need a chart to see that
things fall apart.
Help me.
