The world spins with me

Here I am, I stand

for one thing

I stand tall and proud

and shrink -

 

It's like a magnifying class

being pulled away from an ant

as it grasps for its life

 

Here I am, falling

A simple hole in the ground

where I stomped angrily

 

the world spins with me,

the colors bedazzle and amaze

everything seems slow,

why is the clock broke?

 

Here I am, on the ground

now grasping for my life

here I am, an ant under a magnifying class

gasping for air

begging for life

 

the world spun with me

like a top that wont stop

and now it's fallen, and I am lifeless
