You're slipping away from me
I reach, but I can't grab your hand
You're falling so hard
I close my eyes, but I can't block you out
I'm falling to my knees
Falling right through the floor
No matter how far I run
I can never escape myself
Your voice
An echo in my mind
Haunts me
Echoing all around
Close my eyes
Count to ten
When I open them
Set the butterflies free
You're slipping off the edge
There's nothing I can do
You're falling into the void
I can't turn away
I can't stop myself
From sinking through the floor
I can't run anymore
There's no escaping
Your voice
An echo in my mind
Haunts me
Echoing all around
Breathe life into me
I'm just a hollow shell
Stop me from falling
I'm not running anymore
