False Floors

Just come close now
Walk across the water in your path
The surface will hold
At the shore you'll find my arms around you

And why it's hard
To believe that there's a reason to believe
I would rather fall through false floors
Than play a statue standing guard

Don't laugh, don't cry
Don't be sorry for what you are
What might define
Your portrait with a hasty line

You've come close now
Don't be afraid just because I'm afraid
I believe you to be
Stronger than anyone else

All the time I thought I knew
Fell through fell through
Gravity is playing you
The garden slips into the sea
Over and over again
This recurring dream
Of falling
