False Floors
Chris Koza
Just come close now
Walk across the water in your path
The surface will hold
At the shore you'll find my arms around you
And why it's hard
To believe that there's a reason to believe
I would rather fall through false floors
Than play a statue standing guard
Don't laugh, don't cry
Don't be sorry for what you are
What might define
Your portrait with a hasty line
You've come close now
Don't be afraid just because I'm afraid
I believe you to be
Stronger than anyone else
All the time I thought I knew
Fell through fell through
Gravity is playing you
The garden slips into the sea
Over and over again
This recurring dream
Of falling
