Losing balance

When does a person begin to realize that 
he is getting old?
Among many triggers, 
one is when he boards a double-decker bus, 
he chooses not to go up to the upper deck, 
being afraid he might fall down the stairs 
if he loses his balance.


 
Hollow Coves - From the Second Floor

He tried to see the light
Limbs failed when 
he fell down from the couch
With fear in his eyes
He tried to talk but 
the words wouldn't come out

Seemed like he lost his mind
Felt helpless as he rolled around the floor
Sent shivers down my spine
What has he done? 
Will his mind ever come back?

But everyday people try to 
numb all their pain
Or they say it's just fun and games, 
living while they're young
And every time all they do is 
mess with their mind
Think about the rest of your life, 
you only get one

Then suddenly outside
He jumped headfirst from the second floor
Sent shivers down my spine
What has he done? 
Has his time really run out?

But everyday people try to 
numb all their pain
Or they say it's just fun and games, 
living while they're young
And every time all they do is 
mess with their mind
Think about the rest of your life, 
you only get one
