lyrics

Lyrics:

Caught inside another lie
Something strange is running through my mind
I try to hide the darker things
That keep on grounding these broken wings

Of mine

Taking in another breath
The air is thin but it’s the best I get
I try speak a word or two
Dispense the thoughts I feel are overdue

Overdue

I’ve fallen and I can’t get out
This living hell has trapped me now
There’s so much to be done above the ground
Eternity will break me down

Break me down

Time is passing and I’m standing still
It’s everlasting and designed just to kill
Slowing now it weathers me away
Brings the dying thoughts of yesterday

Yesterday

I’ve fallen and I can’t get out
This living hell has trapped me now
There’s so much to be done above the ground
Eternity will break me down

Break me down

Another breath another hour
Another day I will devour
And I have been falling in again
I’ll find a place where I can land

Fallin’ down

I’ve fallen and I can’t get out
This living hell has trapped me now
There’s so much to be done above the ground
Eternity will break me down

Break me down
