At a new low and oh how strange gravity works
When the ground's pulled from beneath your feet
You're headed for the bottom
Unfortunately, unfortunately – so on and so forth
It's written a thousand times, so please spare me your sympathy
Laughter rings loud smearing the air
And I'm weighing wasted time in empty hands
Shuffling my feet out the door
Carrying what bits are left of me in my graying hair
Their eyes stare right through me
I'm getting smaller everyday
Smaller and smaller everyday
"Just leave there standing my shoes
The left one upright, the right one on its side
There like that frozen in time, empty forever"
How would I have known I was so close to being nothing at all
