A Graceful Fall
It's not a graceful fall
From dreams to the truth
There's not a lotta hope here
If you got nothing to lose
When your vision's no good
When you're flat on the ground
Yeah the future's not bright
When you're falling down
'Cause I'm sick of life
Yeah it's easy to do
When everything so hard
Has been handed to you
Yeah I'm sick of life
'Cause it's lost its fun
I'll see you in the next world
If there is really one
Well I'm not falling up the ladder
I'm just putting in my days
My pockets are empty
And my aces won't play
Yeah I'm movin' down the street
And I'm going nowhere
It's not a graceful fall
When you don't care
'Cause I'm sick of life
And it's easy to do
When everything so hard
Has been handed to you
'Cause I'm sick of life
And it's lost its fun
I'll see you in the next world
If there is really one
Yeah, I'm sick of life
'Cause I'm falling down
I'll see you in the next world
If you're still around
