Gov’t Mule
Trying Not To Fall
[Verse 1]
I see the faces laughing
Are they laughing at me?
I know now where the traps lie
Are they lying for me?

[Pre-Chorus]
Only love can save you
But I don't feel it
I'm just a poor soul
I'm weak but I gotta stand tall

[Chorus]
Trying not to fall
Into the abyss

[Verse 2]
I hear the sirens calling
Are they calling for me?
I feel the tumblers falling
Are the falling on me?

[Pre-Chorus]
Only truth can save you
But I don't remember it
I'm just a poor soul
I'm weak but I gotta stand tall
[Chorus]
Trying not to fall
Into the abyss
Trying not to fall
Into the abyss

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Where are all the others that fell before me?
Will I see 'em again?
And where is the strength that I've known for so long?
Is it failing me now?

[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing left to save you
I'm just a poor soul
I'm weak but I gotta stand tall

[Chorus]
Trying not to fall
Into the abyss
Trying not to fall
Into the abyss
Trying not to fall
Into the abyss
Trying not to fall
Into the abyss
[Outro]
Got to stay strong, got to stay strong
Got to stay, 'til the liquor man has pulled me in
Sirens calling out my name, calling out my name
Oh yeah
Light shine tryin' to drag me down, tryin' to drag me down
Oh, can you feel it?
Trying not to fall, trying not to fall
Into the abyss
