Biochemical breakdown Psychosexual shakedown How much more will it take to ease my mind Something new to fulfill me Though it may very well kill me And tonight the thrill seems harder to find Tell me why this world seems so unkind. Staring straight at the ceiling Pretend i still have some feeling Wonder why tonight time is moving so slow Live the life that they planned me Take the bullshit they hand me But it is only an act it's all for show What is hidden deep inside they must never know. Can't you hear me calling, Can't you see me falling. I'm forever falling from ground zero. Believe the lies that they tell me, Buy the dreams that they sell me, Just how far will I go in my quest to survive? Based on what I can see here, I know I should not be here But I can see no escape not while I'm alive Reflected in my eyes, you see the reaper's scythe Don't you hear me calling, Don't you see me falling. I'm forever falling from ground zero. Take a good look around me, Are these true friends that surround me? I don't know their names much less who they are There's no rest for the weary, In this life that's so dreary. The only pillow I find is my hand on the bar I scream at the night, "How did I fall this far?" You never heard me calling you couldn't stop my falling. I'm forever falling from ground zero. |

Originally I wrote this peice about a friend of mine who has paid a very heavy price for the passion that she held inside. Later I revised it into the first person because it seemed to have more weight that way |
