lyrics

falling, i'm falling
have you ever walked through a room
but it was more like the room passed around you
like there was around your neck that pulled you through
have you ever been at some place
recognizing everybody's face
until you realized that there was no one there you knew 
well i know
some days, my soul's confined and out of mind sleep forever
some days, i'm so outshined and out of time have you ever
falling, i'm falling
have you ever buried your face in your hands 
cause no one around you understands 
or has the slightest idea what it is that makes you be
have you ever felt like there was more
like someone else was keeping score
and what could make you whole was simply out of reach
well i know
some day i'll try again and not pretend this time forever
some day i'll get it straight but not today have you ever
falling, i'm falling
some days, my soul's confined and out of mind sleep forever
some days, my darkest friend is me again have you ever
some day i'll try again and not pretend this time forever
some day i'll get it straight but not today have you ever
when the truth walks away everybody stays
cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
so if you walk away, who is gonna stay 
cause i'd like to think the world is a better place
when the truth walks away everybody stays
cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
so if you walk away, who is gonna stay 
cause i'd like to think the world is a better place
i'd like to leave the world as a better place
i'd like to think the world
