Lyrics Falling Down - Stretch

Shoot for the stars they said
You'll go far they said, if you work hard
At achieving your dreams, you will be rewarded
But it's hard to hit a target with these clipped wings
Tried to fly, but Im stuck parked in monotony
Im in the dark when it comes to astronomy
'Cause Ive tried as much as I can, stars are still out of reach
Failures got me believing succeeding aint for me
'Cause not everybody can achieve their dreams
If they could then success would become meaningless
So keep the pep talks away from me unless
You got a full proof plan, 'cause I'm sick of bein reasoned with
I'm sick of bein treated with disrespect from the almighty one
Yeah he's just kept bringing me down

I keep falling, I keep falling
I dont know if I'll ever hit the ground
I keep calling, I keep calling
I don't know if they'll ever hear the sound
You keep falling in flight
You keep stalling your life
Your dreams got lost in wrong from right
I keep falling, I keep falling
I wish that I could hit the ground

Homie's come to grips with knowing that where he sits
Is the only thing he can expect, that seats at the top, he slowly pisses
His life away, at a nine to five everyday, he's realized this strifes here to stay
Hes stuck, hes encaged, he knows hes fucked and so the bitterness and rage
Eats at him, eventuallly there will be nothing left
Cuz when you see defeated dreams, theres only death
To look forward to, whos there to corner you and tell you youll be okay
When in the process of chasing the stars, you pushed everybody away
Now youre left with scars and debt, its hard but youll get over it you say
To yourself, maybe youll be able to manage living in this hell
Or maybe giving in's the option that you take, end it all with some pills and fade away

I keep falling, I keep falling
I dont know if I'll ever hit the ground
I keep calling, I keep calling
I don't know if they'll ever hear the sound
You keep falling in flight
You keep stalling your life
Your dreams got lost in wrong from right
I keep falling, I keep falling
I wish that I could hit the ground

You see the light, you were almost home
It fades to dark, open your eyes, you're still alone
Layin in a hospital bed 'cause of an overdose
Hooked to tubes to keep you captive in this life that you almost
Freed yourself from, you wonder why they couldnt just let you go
Suicide was your one way ticket to no more pain
No more regret, you almost escaped by goin off the deepend
You cant believe it, the dreams you didnt achieve and
The life alone filled with misery isnt where you wanted to be but
Sometimes shits just out of reach and you gotta deal with it
You're witnessin' life at its worst, you were thinkin its fair when it isnt
But life ain't fair, think of it as prison
You tried to fly, but you're still stuck on the ground, still singing

I keep falling, I keep falling
I dont know if I'll ever hit the ground
I keep calling, I keep calling
I don't know if they'll ever hear the sound
You keep falling in flight
You keep stalling your life
Your dreams got lost in wrong from right
I keep falling, I keep falling
I wish that I could hit the ground
