Have You Ever

Falling, I'm falling
Falling, I'm falling
Have you ever walked through a room
But it was more like the room passed around you
Like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through?
Have you ever been at someplace
Recognizing everybody's face
Until you realized that there was no one there you knew?
Well, I know
Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, I'm so outshined and out of time
Have you ever?
Falling, I'm falling
Falling, I'm falling
Have you ever buried your face in your hands
Cause no one around you understands
Or has the slightest idea what it is that makes you be?
Have you ever felt like there was more
Like someone else was keeping score
And what could make you whole was simply out of reach?
Well, I know
Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever?
Falling, I'm falling
Falling, I'm falling
Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, my darkest friend is me again
Have you ever?
Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever?
When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
'Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay?
'Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
'Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay?
'Cause I'd like to make the world be a better place
When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
'Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay?
'Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
I'd like to leave the world as a better place
I'd like to think the world
