Pride Takes a Fall

Pride takes a fall

Pry it open, winter takes it all

Beach cove, such a rogue wave

Rough and ready

To take every treasure

The sun dip down

Into a trench

The heaven underneath your gown

Garden or maybe grave

Tell me true, I won’t even flinch

Pride takes a fall

Pride takes a fall

A shadow gives false witness

I was never that tall

The moon bears all

Lumen and Lucifer to light the way

The old boy was once like that

All light bearing, righteous staring

And now we crawl on all fours

To escape the latest brawl

Pride takes a fall

Pride takes a fall

A shadow gives false witness

I was never that tall

Pride takes a fall

Tiger trap, a car door left ajar

I lost my glasses in the ocean

I could’ve sworn my sex appeal was on display

Once again such a careless notion

Narcissistic and optimistic of the day

With one rogue wave everything was stolen

Pride takes a fall

Pride takes a fall

A passing ship beheld in spyglass

But not a bad vacation over all
