Surrounded

I'm falling through a tunnel
of everything I've lost.
I look at the pain I took,
parts of my heart it cost.
Though I'm still alive,
the soul will always bleed.
And I still dunno
what I really need.

The blackness surrounds
as I fall towards the ground.
Memories pass by
of all those times I've cried.
I can't really tell
if you know me as well.
But help me would you?
Cuz I need some saving too.

I hit the ground,
but I don't feel it.
I look around,
but I don't see it.
Don't see anything
but a mirror.
I approach,
the glass is clearer.
Is this me,
that I see?

The blackness surrounds
as I fall towards the ground.
Memories pass by
of all those times I've cried.
I can't really tell
if you know me as well.
But help me would you?
Cuz I need some saving too.

Someone enters the room.
I see that its you.
How did you find me?
How could you see,
past my looks and into me?
How do you wind,
up in my mind?

(softer)
The blackness surrounds
as I fall towards the ground.
Memories pass by
of all those times I've cried.
I can't really tell
if you know me as well.
But help me would you?
Cuz I need some saving too.

The black fades away,
cuz you saved me
again today

I just had a rough patch at that point. It was about a guy, and how my other friend helped me through it. :)

once again i love this song, you have a real gift and trust me i'm not one to go around congratulating other people on their work but you are really good. there are some tiny things you can fix though, too. like just shortening up some phrases and making them easier to sing. like "towards the ground" would be so much simpled as "to the ground." heres something easy to remember i hope that helps, keep it simple.
