I fall down tonight

I go to hell to be what I sell
Choosing a difficult path, possibly related to personal values.
Falling again is such a welcome end
Viewing a recurrence of falling as a familiar and acceptable conclusion.
Can the end of today be more than tonight
Raising a question about the significance of the present moment.
Echoes of these far reaching sights
Echoing memories of impactful experiences.
Stuck with the pain of knowing you should have tried

I had a hand in everyone losing their place
Admitting involvement in causing disruption or disorientation.
Never must stop

It's stealing my heart
Expressing the emotional impact of a situation.
A moment to squeeze begging on its knees

And we'll never die
Reiterating the idea of an enduring connection (repeated).
