Falling in reverse

The sky's upside down tonight

Stars swimming in a sea of black light

My heart's a compass but it spins too fast

Every step forward pulls me back to the past

I’m chasing echoes

Chasing dreams

But nothing’s ever what it seems

I’m falling in reverse

Spinning in the air

A wildfire in the rain

A whisper in despair

Every time I rise

The ground pulls me down

Falling in reverse

I’m lost

I’m found

The moon's a coin tossed into the well

My wishes burn like paper

Fragile spells

The mirror’s cracked but I still see

A stranger staring back at me

I’m running circles

Running blind

But every turn rewrites the line

I’m falling in reverse

Spinning in the air

A wildfire in the rain

A whisper in despair

Every time I rise

The ground pulls me down

Falling in reverse

I’m lost

I’m found
