Falling;
Down and down we go,
No light, no ground,
Just falling,
Will I ever find the land?
Hands out,
Steadying myself,
Twisting and turning,
Dizzy from being turned upside down.
Falling;
Falling, floating through space,
No walls to hold to steady my pace.
Falling;
Down,
Down,
Into the black abyss,
Twisting,
Turning,
Upside down,
Dizzy again, from being on my head.
I shut my eyes as I spin,
Now standing straight,
Feeling woozy without being boozy.
Falling faster,
Down,
Up
Around,
Back down like a bullet.
I hear an alarm clock shrieking in the distance,
Then I wake up;
Oh shucks, now I have to get up for work!
Can't I just go back to sleep, and,
Enjoy falling?
