Falling Down

Summer eternally
Haunting and burning me up inside
Like some kind of fever
Waiting for nightfall
Frying like an egg on the sidewalk
But I can’t quite seem to
Stay on my feet
The kids on the street
Pursuing the question
They wanna know why
I’m always falling down
After the sun is set
Bourbon and cigarette mingling
And conversations
I feel no resistance
But I’m still no assistance with your tingling
Little sensations
Bent like a nail
Too bent to impale
You rolling your eyes at me
Like I’ve failed you now
You wanna know why
I’m always falling down
Why do we always have to
Sit around and analyse it?
Why can’t we just relax and
Be?
It isn’t easy to think about
Anything other than old regrets
Much as I like to
The second I’m over it
I know that you will come around knowing that
You’re gonna try to
Say you can help me
Like you can tell me
How to be happy
Wholesome and healthy
You don’t even know why
I’m always falling down
