The Spiral

Down Down Down it spins
Watch it go
It never ends

The spiral consumes
Sucks the air from your lungs
Spinning so fast
Each vain attempt at a breath
Only an airless gasp

Down Down Down it spins
Watch it go
It never ends

This spiral it starts
With a single step
Watch the ground crumble
Down and away
You try to run but only manage to stumble

Down Down Down it spins
Watch it go
It never ends

You see it now
As you fall
That you only have yourself to blame
So as the fall batters you more
You learn to accept the pain the shame

Down Down Down it spins
Watch it go
It never ends

See it all get washed away
Your job
Your friends
The light of day

Down Down Down it spins
Feel the crash
When it finally ends
