Falling awake (live)

a slight depression in the surface
suddenly i lose my balance
once again nothing is certain
and every breath i take is hurting

i cannot buy what we're sold
can't believe a word we're told
everything just leaves me cold
damn, this shit is getting old

and i rise (fall)
and i rise

i can't breathe underneath this weight
i can't sleep - falling awake

i can't pretend any longer
i'm getting weaker, not stronger
why can't i just smile and be happy?
why can't i swallow what they give me?

not awake - not asleep
the only place i know is inbetween
not awake - not asleep
the only place i go is inbetween

and i rise (fall)
and i rise

i can't breathe underneath this weight
i can't sleep - falling awake

the sun rises on a new day
but everything is just the same
another lie, another war
another dollar worth killing for...

fall...

i've been falling for so long
still don't feel like i belong
i've been falling for so long
i hope it's not too late... this song

and i fall...
awake
