I'm falling away To a place where I pray I will finally be able to stay The higher I get The lower I fall Until I hit what is called bottom And Crawl Just as I say I can stand up and dance The illusion of surface gives way I am falling away I am falling away And it all counts for nothing This game that I play Hope for different endings But live the same way I dance on the bottom Expecting to stay But the ground starts to shake And the fault line gives way And I'm falling away I'm falling away I'm falling away I'm falling away I'm falling away I'm falling away I'm drifting downstream On a river of lies On a boat made of fragmented dreams The farther I go The closer I am to a waterfall ending Below And just when I think I have finally hit bottom I feel myself starting to sink The mortal decay Im falling away And it all counts for nothing This game that I play Hope for different endings But live the same way I dance on the bottom Expecting to stay But the ground starts to shake And the fault line gives way And Im falling away I'm falling away I'm falling away I'm falling away I'm falling away I'm falling away
