What would I like?
Oh... what's that fantasy..?
Been there for years...
Longer than I'd care to admit
The image, the sensation
The story of my fall.

There's always been something
About a fall
When the body just... fails
Exhilarating, isn't it?
To just... fall in defeat
Forced surrender to your flesh
Knees buckle
Ground sways....
Maybe the vision blurs
Then the world's encompassed
In a peaceful darkness

You've fought for so long, darling
Isn't it about time for a surrender?
Even simply a retreat?

Ah... but you want to fight to the end...
You want the point of failure
Push until you break
'Cause you deserve it, don't you?
You can't give up
Not until every last drop of blood is spilt
It's your job
You are the one to fight
Until you succumb to exhaustion
Until you can fight no more

You're ready, aren't you?
Ready to fall
You'd force it now
One last push
Take the final blow
That sends you reeling
The one that you can't get back up from
You're ready to be finished
You desire the delirium
Of being so near death
Just to drink in the exhilaration
