Lyrics
Description
Verse 1
ooooo ooo oooo
I feel my lungs collapsing
I feel the air close tight around my throat
keep myself awake
just so I can heal
I know that there's fire burning deep inside me
that I can never go out
Pre-Chorus
keep myself on a steady beat
keep on dreaming till it becomes a nightmare
waking up freezing cold
I feel your fingers around my throat
Chorus
I feel myself falling like a river fall
keep on dreaming for these nightmares never leave
Verse 2
I keep on telling myself
I'm going to be fine at the end of the day
even when they tell me
fall asleep
going into your dreams
because if you don't take
control now you're going to end up falling falling falling down
Chorus
I feel myself falling like a river fall
keep on dreaming for these nightmares never leave
Bridge
I can feel you in the dark
I can feel you trying to scratch my mark
I can feel you tearing at my throat
I can feel the tears falling down
Chorus
I feel myself falling like a river fall
keep on dreaming for these nightmares never leave
these nightmares never leave
