Falling Down

Its only two o'clock
The afternoon's just beginning, it
Stretches before her
Never ending

She looks around
It's the same old scene
Mother alone with unspoken dreams

It's only been one hour
An hour made of moments
She wants to believe
It could go either way
She closes the door
Opens the bottle
Drinks and starts to pray

She says, what am I doing here?
This is not me
There's someone else in here
What am I doing now?
I watch myself
I am flying
Now I am falling down

Neighbours dog are barking
The pool pump is breaking
The leaves settle on the surface
Float round and round

The baby is crying
Laundry is drying
Water drips to the ground

And she knows she should get up
Should be doing something other than
Staring into nothing
There must be something
She closes the door
Opens the bottle
Drinks and starts to pray

She says, what am I doing here?
This is not me
There's someone else in here
What am I doing now?
I watch myself, I am flying
Now I'm falling down

What am I doing here?
This is not me
There's someone else in here
What am I doing now?
I watch myself, I am flying

What am I doing here?
This is not me
There's someone else in here
What am I doing now?
I watch myself, I was flying
Now I'm falling down
