Parabola Lyrics

Oh to be grounded again

Oh to be anything at all

The toppled tree, the twisted, mangled limb

Oh what a terrible fall

At the bottom of the staircase

Crying in a crumpled heap

Careless boy, you took it all too fast

Knocked out your milk teeth

Is this your fate

Forever falling away

It's getting late

The sun's gone and you're so afraid

You'll never make it back

Oh to feel grounded again

Oh to feel anything at all

When the sower went to scatter seed

Did you determine its fall

Some fell on the fertile soil

Some got choked by the thorns

As for me, I often wonder why

You ever let me be born

Standing on the precipice

Of what you wish you'd never witnessed

Pin your eyelids open wide

Take it in, the hurt, the sin

Two thousandshousand years of bastardizing

What you call the words of life

Whatever helps you sleep at night

Face your fate

Forever falling astray

It's getting late

The sun's gone and you're so afraid

Fake your faith

Forsake the love you first claimed

Your face has changed

You're drowning in the hell that you made

Will you ever make it back
