Before the Fall

The sun was gold, the skies were clear
We danced like time could disappear
Every breath a sacred vow
But we didn’t know what we know now
We built our world on trembling ground
Pretending not to hear the sound
Of silence creeping through the walls
We stood too tall... before the fall
And I still feel that moment
When everything felt infinite
We touched the edge of heaven
Not knowing we would descend from it
This was love before the fall
When every glance could break the world
We were fire against the cold
Too bright, too fast, too bold
Now all I hear is echoes in the hall...
Of what we were, before the fall
We wrote our names in fragile stars
Chased forever in borrowed cars
But beauty burns when held too tight
And even love can drown in light
We kissed like nothing could go wrong
But silence always has its song
And I still hear your voice through it all
A fading call... before the fall
I keep the truth beneath my skin
A thousand wounds I breathe within
We thought we owned the sky above
But never learned the weight of love
This was love before the fall
When we could feel without a wall
When time stood still inside your eyes
And we believed in no goodbyes
Now shadows dance along the wall...
Of everything, before the fall
Maybe all things break to grow
Maybe endings help us know
The beauty in the rise and crash
In loving hard, then turning ash
I still remember every call
The golden days... before the fall
