lyrics

Heaven help me it's a long way down
When the body breaks it makes a sickening sound
And the brain busts out when it hits the ground
You'd sink and savor anybody now

Stand and stare at the open door
Breathe out air 'til you're emptier
And you don't even feel it when you hit the floor
In this day and age who could ask for more

Aaaaahhhhhhh aaaahhh

Where am I?
So cold in here
Concrete walls
A mounting fear

Did I do something wrong?
Are you angry with me?
Did the best I could
I'm only human
Can you cast me away with a condescending smile?
Can you ever forgive me?
Oh no

Reaching back for memories
Cannot seem to find them
What was I supposed to do?
It seems a lifetime ago

Bitter now and freezing
Short of breath and feeling
Can't go back
Can't escape
Sit still and meditate

Don't leave me here
I'm all alone
I have no one
And I'll be here for so long
Don't leave me here
I'll be here forever
I'll be here forever
I'll be here...

Aaaaahhhhhhh aaaahhh
