Falling Apart

(Intro - spoken word)
Man, things are tough as hell out there. 
It’s not safe and nothing is fair. 
We all have our issues, we all have struggles, 
we all share this with one another.

(Verse 1)
Packed the bags, told myself it’s the last time
Threw the pills down the sink, drew a hard line
Three days clean, I can feel my heart beat
Looking in the mirror, standing on my own two feet
But the air feels thin and the walls are closing in
And a whisper says "where have you been?"
It’s my old friend, I can feel you pulling me in
I can’t resist the pressure that  I feel within

(Chorus)
And I’m falling again, down the same old stairs
Trading my soul for a moment that never repairs
It’s a broken promise, a shattered dream
Trying to swim in a frozen stream
Round and round, the cycle brings me low
Trying hard, but I don't know how to let go.
Ohhh I can’t let go! Ohhh can’t let go

(Verse 2)
Can’t count the fingers on my own hand
Texts from you that I don’t understand
Said I’d meet you there, and I’d be okay
But I’m too fucked up to even show up late
I’m fighting with demons whispering lies
Rewriting my brain like it’s plagiarized
Filled with little white lines, all through my mind 
It makes me weak, my mind is diseased 
So please stop counting on me!

(Chorus)
And I’m falling again, down the same old stairs
Trading my soul for a moment that never repairs
It’s a broken promise, a shattered dream
Trying to swim in a frozen stream
Round and round, the cycle brings me low
Trying hard, but I don't know how to let go.
Ohhh I can’t let go! Can’t let go

(Bridge)
They say one day at a time, Its been an hour
I can’t fight the urge and I lost my power
I close my eyes, and I’m back at the start
Everything inside of me is falling apart
I need to breathe, I must be freed 
But her nails are dug in so deep

(Breakdown)
Ohhh And I’m falling again, down the same old stairs
Trading my soul for a moment that never repairs
It’s a broken promise, a shattered dream
Trying to swim in a frozen stream
Round and round, the cycle brings me low
Trying hard, but I don't know how to let go.

(Outro)
Ohhh I don't know how to get through today
It Feels like every time is just too late 
I’m not sure I have much inside that remains
I’m just out here… battling the pain
