He feels its weight upon him
Pulling stronger with passing day
Watching the red sphere meet horizon
As the sand is sifted away
The closer he gets to the gateway
The farther he gets from himself
Forgetting those things he memorized
From those faded texts on the shelf
The clear cut equations and order
Have fallen in the cracks of his mind
He never had time to look for
The things he'd been hoping to find
Physics is failing for him
Fading like his fallen fame
Slipping deeper into darkness
While fanning the dying flame
Now the apple is falling upwards
The planets crash into the sun
No tear sheds the cold mother
Nor comfort for her nameless son.
