Rising and falling, rising and falling
I check my pulse and my heart's still beating
I look to my left but you're not there
I look outside and the world is bare
Rising and falling, rising and falling
My breath quickens but my lungs are aching
I'm gradually falling apart piece by piece
A feeling that will never cease
Rising and falling, rising and falling
Chains that creep around me, clinking
I'm not allowed to stop
Even though my body's about to drop
Rising and falling, rising and falling
Inside my soul is crumbling
broken down and weak
and still unable to speak
Rising and falling, rising and falling
Into the darkness I am sinking
With pain I must pay the cost
for without it, I am lost
