Playing with another one. This song just feels more... me.

Lyrics:
The Stars are Veiled
"After the Fall"

Too high kid, neglect will lead him to fatal fall,
surface tension, crashes and waves.
A mind active, a severed nervous system.
With wings he sinks faster than the average boy.

If he had only 'reasoned well',
ceased caprice and season's swell.
The shift from breathing to drinking the current.

Screaming, "Reason has naught to do with me.
Man is free the moment that he wishes to be."

Eyes open, a trail of feathers that marks his path.
Once a boy, once a god, now a tale.
A mind content, cue ataraxia
within page -those faux waves- truth is submerged.

The sea floor, a place of peace untouched by man.
The sea floor, a plume Posieden laid by hand.
The sea floor, "Now is my home."

"Does elation or fear encompass me?
Knowing the consequence, knowing the sea?"
Screaming, "Reason has naught to do with me.
Man is free the moment that he wishes to be."

The scrolls have all told of a moral
then close when he nosedives through coral.
But he didn't drown at the sting
thinking, "These worthless wings".

"Was it worth it? Won't get the chance to know.
Though I've touched the highs and low
of all in life.

No yearning for deus ex in mausoleum seas.
Close eyes and open dreams
of all my life."

The dead shall float to meet the light,
but we'll never read of that sunrise.
Experience: the final flight.
What do we know about our own lives?

Was solace found in open seas,
or flailing arms and breathless screams?
That death caress epiphany.
What did he know?
"We all drown in philosophy."
(Then awkward stare. Yes, it is a part of the song. I think.)
