Falling down the rabbit hole
Twisting into darkness
The stars fall down
And I burn out
While the moon sears my eyes
I choke on darkness
Drowning in the night sky
I'm floating high
My cheeks are dry
Because my tears fill the sea below
I reach for something
That smile I envy
But all I can do is hack and carve
Painting wrists red
I let my screaming stomach starve
Its as empty as my heart
I'm falling down
My brain gives out
Too weak or too strong
To deal with what's real
But that's okay
Because I won't stay
Instead I'll leap down
In a hole in the ground
And like Alice I'll drown
In the illusion of dreams and nightmares
