Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Things are falling down on me
Heavy things I could not see
When I finally came around
Something small would pin me down
[Verse 2]
When I tried to step aside
I moved to where they hoped I'd be
[Verse 3]
Vanessa calls me on the phone
Reminding me I'm not alone
I fuss and quake and cavitate
I try to speak and turn to stone
[Verse 4]
Till he reaches through my vest
To do the thing that she does best
She probes and tears my ventricles
Steals my one remaining breath
[Verse 5]
Things are falling down on me
Heavy things I could not see
When I finally came around
Something small would pin me down
[Verse 6]
When I tried to step aside
I moved to where they hoped I'd be
[Verse 7]
Stumbling as I fall from grace
She needs my vision to replace
Her ailing sight throughout the night
Leaving two holes in my face
[Verse 8]
Mary was a friend I'd say
Till one summer day
She borrowed everything I owned
And then simply ran away
[Verse 9]
Things are falling down on me
Heavy things I could not see
When I finally came around
Something small would pin me down
[Verse 10]
When I tried to step aside
I moved to where they hoped I'd be
[Verse 11]
Things are falling down on me
Things are falling down on me
Things are falling down on me
[Verse 12]
Things are falling down on me
Things are falling down on me
Things are falling down on me
