Backwards

Virgil

I've maintained falling on my face

For my own protection

My mistake was having placed my faith

In the wrong direction



Falling forward works

But only if you learn to fall

Backwards first, I am

I'm falling backwards again



I volunteer to figure this out here

As a way of knowing

Angels came, spread their legs and waved

As a way of showing



I will always ask

If you're always there to have my

Backwards I'm am

I'm falling backwards again



The music on the outside

Removes me from my insight

I have angels and

They're offering their eyes



I'm falling backwards, I am

I'm falling backwards again



The music on the outside

Removes me from my insight

The angels move from my side

And offer me their eyes



My mistake was having placed my faith in the wrong direction
