Falling Between the Cracks


Descending and falling between the cracks.

Now I'm slowly drifting into the black.

 

Descending and falling between the cracks.

I will live in exile, leave me alone!

Now I'm slowly drifting into the black.

 

I should leave home, no one would care.

All traces of pure innocence are gone.

Descending and falling between the cracks.

 

I would do risky things, no one would dare.

All softness is melted, I'm hard as stone.

Now I'm slowly drifting into the black.

I was sent away, now guilt I do bear.

My inner piece is now shattered and blown.

Descending and falling between the cracks

 

Don't try to save me, I fall through the cracks.

I was mean to you, but kindness you've shown.

Now I'm slowly drifting into the black.

 

Kindness and freedom is what I now lack.

Could you be the one to bring me back?

Descending and falling between the cracks

Now I'm slowly drifting into the black.
