This
This moment, this second
Fleeting before our eyes. 

We break out
We thrash, scream, and cry,
But we continue to fall. 

We grab hold
Only to watch it break;
To delicate to hold together. 

Panic
That's all we do
Panic, and continue to hope. 

But at the end
Inevitability comes through
Our hope is gone. 

We can't feel
We refuse to think, to believe, 
And that's when they grab hold. 

Pulling
We feel it, we trust it
Eternally grateful. 

They help
Give us clothes, give us food
And ask us to help. 

We do
We do whatever they ask
Because they saved our lives. 

But at the top
Where we once proudly stood
They push the next man off.
