I feel like I'm falling
Through space and time and life again
Struggling just to catch my breath
The gasps of air I rip from sky
Do nothing to keep me alive
The atmosphere congeals around me
The pressure is too much
My lungs are finally caving in
The pain of failure drowns me
The tides are always changing
They taught me how to dream
In black and white and calmer still
To leave this color behind

I feel like I'm falling
Through space and time and life again
Struggling just to catch my breath
The gasps of air I rip from sky
Do nothing to keep me alive
The atmosphere congeals around me
The pressure is too much
My lungs are finally caving in
The pain of failure drowns me
The tides are always changing
They taught me how to dream
In black and white and calmer still
To leave this color behind
