a slight depression in the surface
suddenly i lose my balance
once again nothing is certain
and every breath i take is hurting
i cannot buy what we're sold
can't believe a word we're told
everything just leaves me cold
damn, this shit is getting old
and i rise (fall)
and i rise
i can't breathe underneath this weight
i can't sleep - falling awake
i can't pretend any longer
i'm getting weaker, not stronger
why can't i just smile and be happy?
why can't i swallow what they give me?
not awake - not asleep
the only place i know is inbetween
not awake - not asleep
the only place i go is inbetween
and i rise (fall)
and i rise
i can't breathe underneath this weight
i can't sleep - falling awake
the sun rises on a new day
but everything is just the same
another lie, another war
another dollar worth killing for...
fall...
i've been falling for so long
still don't feel like i belong
i've been falling for so long
i hope it's not too late... this song
and i fall...
awake
