Falling Down

It’s easy falling down
When down is the only way you’re ever shown
It’s easy being scared of everyone
When you look at everyone and don’t feel any love

Drugs only can
Hide the evidence
That I’m not trying
Can’t sleep again
Take some more medicine and pretend I’m dying

You dream in color I dream in gray
And though the thoughts won’t go away
I tried to drown ’em out
Nothing to figure out

Started at age thirteen
Getting high on gasoline
In my parents shed
Just me and all the things they never said

Drugs only can
Hide the evidence
I’m not trying
I start to feel again
Take some more medicine
And pretend I’m crying

I feel the farthest farthest in
Can’t find the point where it begins
It goes on for miles

I hope I don’t pass it on
To the ones I love
And please not my son

Drugs only can
Hide the evidence
I’m not trying
You on your jungle gym
Me on my medicine
Both pretend we’re flying
