100 Floors

This burning pain, I'm going numb
Can’t find my breath
It will not come
The wind was siphoned out of me
And I want to cry all day.

Things that I know how to do
The little chores that get me through
I can operate about an hour
And then I crumble
And then I tumble

Down a hundred floors
In an elevator with no doors
And it’s hard to be alone
You are never coming home

Like a flower being crushed
A drying blossom turned to dust
I knew that I could get the call
But that knowing
Didn’t break my fall

Down a hundred floors
In an elevator with no doors
And it’s hard to live alone …
(Instrumental verse)

They tell me you’ll be lighter as a spirit
Than you were as flesh and bone
But I do not want to hear it
You are never coming home.
