falling, falling, falling down.
swimming in the blackness round.
nothing left and nothing's right,
nothing true within my sight.
swimming, swimming, swimming far.
choking on the midnight stars.
nothing up - nothing below.
nowhere left to even go.
choking, choking without air
all seems wrong and so unfair.
something turns far up again.
i turn, i swim,
i fall, i love.
there's nothing here and nothing there
don't care,
don't swear
just float, just stare.
floating, floating, floating down.
floating in the blackness 'round.
nothing left to fill my lungs,
last words forgotten and unsung.
falling, falling, giving up.
silent - don't dare to disrupt.
drowning, drowning, drowning now.
limply folded in a bow.
dying, dying, dying quick.
who am i now? just someone sick.
forgotten at the ocean's floor,
forgotten in my mind's galore.
forgotten, forgetting, forget me not.
can't recall my name, here i rot.
bursting through the glowing air,
chest aflame - a breathe so rare.
flying, flying, flying high.
stars twinkle above in the black sky.
living, living, living weak,
what's left now must be tweaked.
trying, trying, trying hard.
to not let dark get past my guard.
falling falling - no, clinging on.
the past is passed - what's gone is gone.
goodbyes, hellos, crying each day.
i tighten the knot whenever i fray.
living, living, living strong.
i fall sometimes, but that's my song.
i won't give up, not even now
not when i'm drowning in sorrow.
i won't give in, up, or out.
i hate myself through and throughout,
but i'll live not for my stupid future,
but for others, my cats, and stupid humor.
goodbye for now, and you i tha.
i'm drowning with an oxygen tank.
who knows if the pressure will get me,
or if i'll finally burst through again, free.
