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
