The world below you takes a breath As you descend Deep into what seems to be nothing As you're falling The light shines through But just for a second Then again darkness surrounds you You try to scream But no sound is heard You see everything But still you see nothing You feel ground below you And you stand on your feet You turn around As the breath is ripped from your lungs And you fall once more You close your eyes Trying to think of a better place As a cold sweat pours down your face You thrash about Hoping to feel something Something to stop you from falling But there's nothing there There's never anything there Never anyone there Nobody to stop you And nobody to help you You breath your hardest But your lungs give way As you hit the water with one last breath Your throat burns As water fills your lungs And fire starts to pierce your torso You rip at your flesh As the acid eats your skin You feel dizzy As rain starts to fall You feel heavy And you can't move You're lying on the ground As your breath returns to your screaming lungs You get up and walk away As the wind starts to howl And cold ice starts to form on your skin You begin to cry But your tears freeze to your face And blood pours from your eyes The pain makes you numb You feel nothing But your heart beating in your chest Someone watches you As you walk toward the horizon He follows you Watching your every step And studying your face You can't see him But you feel his eyes burn into your skin You turn around But all you see is the wind blowing You quicken your pace But he stays right behind you You close your eyes Giving him strength He grips your arm And his hands are like ice You look down to push his hand away But there's nothing but a mere handprint The color drains from your face You try to run But you can't move The wind picks up As you start to fall Down. down into the darkness you fall Again you fall forever Until you see light And you hit the ground You wake up screaming And you fall back onto your pillow To fall asleep again Until human voices wake you And you drown
