I Keep Falling

As I get close to the ledge of the waterfall my shadow pushes me
The breeze keeps on cooling my body as I start to remember to good, and the dark memories.

The memories from the past, the memories from the present , and the dreams for the future I keep on falling
As I keep falling I can't scream ,  I can't react , I can't stop sleeping.

As I fall the water keeps on cooling my body every drop of water from my body falls with me
Why am I still falling , why do I keep on remembering?, and why am I fading?
Am I ever going to stop? , Can anybody save me? , Am I alone?
I soon realize there's no end to this fall that is why I must climb back to the ledge.

I push myself against the rocks I begin to use my arms , and my legs to climb to the top 
Every time I fail to climb I will start over no matter how tired I am, and how painful it is to get up.

I have to go up I have to go up I have to keep climbing I don't want to be alone , I need to feel, I need to be alive!!!
