Down

I am talking,
But you're not listening
Your head is hard as a rock,
But you're always insisting,
That you think you have,
All the answers you seek,
Living like a lion,
Among the meek

You're short in stature,
So you scream and holler,
Tell me, does it make you feel,
Just a little bit taller?

You're fighting to rise,
But only can fall!
You struggle to be right,
But always are wrong!
You sing all the notes,
But you hold them too long!
So now it's time to sing,
A different song!

You fall!
Down, down, down, down
You fall!
Down, down, down, down

Leaning to the horizon,
With all your might!
But you can't reach the end,
Even though it's in sight!
You beg and you plead,
Just to succeed,
You're grasping at the empty air,
While falling down on your knees...

Your eyes are stinging,
'Cause you are crying
You've failed to win again,
And it feels like you're dying
You pray to be strong!
But always are weak
You wish inside your soul,
That you could be like me...

You try to yell above the crowd,
But can only whisper
Your mind, like a hurricane,
Or an emotional twister

You struggle to be right!
But always are wrong
You're fighting to rise!
But only can fall
You sing all the notes,
But you hold them too long!
So now it's time to sing,
A different song!

You fall!
Down, down, down, down
You fall!
Down, down, down, down

Leaning to the horizon,
With all your might!
But you can't reach the end,
Even though it's in sight!
You beg and you plead,
Just to succeed,
You're grasping at the empty air,
While falling down on your knees...

Words pour from you,
But I can't...
Tell what they mean

Your life is like a movie,
And you...
Seem to only rewind the scenes...

You claim to understand!
But never relate!
You can't comprehend,
The idea that you make your fate!
You claim that you care,
But you never give!
You claim that you have passion,
But you never live...!

You fall,
Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down...

You fall down...!

Leaning to the horizon,
With all your might!
But you can't reach the end,
Even though it's in sight!
You beg and you plead,
Just to succeed,
You're grasping at the empty air,
While falling down on your knees...!
You're short in stature,
So you scream and holler,
Tell me, does it make you feel,
Just a little bit taller?!
You fall!
Down, down, down, down
You fall!
Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down...

I am talking,
But you're not listening
Your head is hard as a rock,
And you're always insisting,
That you think you have,
All the answers you seek,
Living like a lion,
Among the meek...
