It's weird how things can happen so suddenly.
One minute your looking at the clouds,
The next your trying to get off the ground.
I see myself in the clouds,
I finally made it up this high just less than a year ago.
I can see images and clips splayed across the clouds.
Mostly joyous times have been playing.
The last clip I saw was not so happy though.
It was a heart wrenching tragedy but I'm not sure how it goes.
While I'm still watching it start to play on the cloud
A sudden rush of air gusts from below.
I shut my eyes to keep the wind from hurting.
It's been a while now and it's still blowing.
I crack one eye open to see what's going on.
You wouldn't believe how terrified I was.
It wasn't a wind but me falling from the sky.
I'll tell you what happens next though I'm sure you can guess.
That's right, I plummeted into the ground, arms around my chest.
This crater I'm in now is bigger than the last time this happened.
I never let myself go so high into the sky.
I let myself keep going up over the last year though.
I never should have let myself rise so far.
I always stayed low because I'd always fall.
Looking up from the crater I see how far I've fallen.
I think I'll give up on flying though, I always loose my air.
This crater is deep, I don't feel like climbing out.
I'm just gonna stay in this hole.
I thought I learned my lesson last time.
I'm just not meant to fly.
I not climbing out anymore and I give up on trying to fly.
I'll keep my proper place in the ground.
Now I won't have to risk falling from the sky.
