We're falling Throughout eternity The clock is ticking And you're still counting sheep You're still half asleep There's no one coming (there's no one coming) And there's no way out (and there's no way out) I've been falling (well I've been falling) And it's so far down Shrouded Beneath the veil of tragedy When death comes calling Who will you believe? Tell me who will you believe? When it's down to you and me Will you still stay on your knees? (When it's down to you and me) There's no one coming (there's no one coming) And there's no way out (and there's no way out) I've been falling (well I've been falling) And it's so far down (and it's so far down) There's no one coming (there's no one coming) And there's no way out There's no way out (way out) Pushing me down, breaking me down There's always something Pushing me down, breaking me down Pushing me down, breaking me down There's always something Pushing me down, breaking me down Pushing me down, breaking me down There's always something Pushing me down, breaking me down Pushing you down, breaking you down There's always something Pushing you back, pushing you back I'm pushing you back, I'm pushing you back I'm pushing you back, I'm pushing you back I'm pushing you back, I'm pushing you back There's no one coming And there's no way out Well I've been falling And it's a long way down Down
