Nothing

They say the sky's the limit, so shoot for the stars

Well, I can't shoot for anything—I don't have a gun

From the beginning, I didn't have any wings

To spread

To fly away with

So I just fall down

All the way to the deep, dark ocean ground

Watch me as I drown

Watch me as I fall apart

Watch me 'til I'm gone
