Down

The door opens to my room
Running to my bed, I fall,
Thinking of all I’ve done this week
And how they add up to nothing at all.
Closing eyes, afraid of the night,
As the nightmares came out to call.

And when the lights go out,
The black ceiling crumbles down.
It’s falling all around me
Until it’s got me drowned .
I’m sinking far into the earth.
From my mouth escapes a howl.
And I’m falling to the bottom
I’m forever heading down.

Down to the bottom,
There’s never been a thing here,
This place is far too familiar,
I now know there’s nothing to fear.
Just vast, dark and empty spaces,
That’s where I’ve spent my past year.

And when the lights go out,
The black ceiling crumbles down.
It’s falling all around me
Until it’s got me drowned .
I’m sinking far into the earth.
From my mouth escapes a howl.
And I’m falling to the bottom
I’m forever heading down.

Down is all I’ve grown to know,
And down is how it’s always been,
I wonder if the day will ever show,
When I’m able to stand back up again.
