A metaphor for the taste of the bottom
G                                      Em
The fall to the floor (The fall to the floor)

I fall to the floor

For the way you failed me?

And now I'm failing you

Like the storm that shakes me
Em                 G                             C
Like the hand that beats me, until I'm black and blue
C               D
Like the autumn chill
D                  Em
Like the love that failed me

Let the Earth remove me

For what happens then?"
