the honesty of drowning
is like falling into deep space
where only your fingertips
find the thoughts to erase

[but i'm still falling...]

the screams are resonant silence
shhh...no one can hear me now...
they can't hear me say "i love you"
as i drift away from the vows...

[but i'm still falling...]

the aching is growing deeper
can you not see your own face
have you looked into the mirror
i've seen half of myself erased...

[are you falling too?]

the aching inner silence
my own bitter resounding voice
holding out my hands to you
but...i'm not sure you'll ever make the choice

[and i'm still falling...]

i'll cry out to you silently
tell you how untruly happy i'll be
just watching and waiting
while caged inside the walls
that i thought would make me free

[and i'm so alone...]

the smile fled your eyes so long ago
can i...can i, please, put it back?
i cry for you so deeply
it seems to touch my soul with its tracks.

[let me fight for you!]

i want to say i'm different
i want to say you deserve so much more than this
i want to shout "what about me!?"
and ask what you did to deserve this...

[i'm not strong anymore...]

give me your hand!
please, i beg you, let me make this better!
i plead you! je t'aime! i plead you!
i'm losing myself....without you...

[catch me as i'm falling...]

this is the honesty of drowning
the harsh lust of the lack of life
when all else seems to die from living
and my darkness is your light...

[but we're still falling...]
