Song Description
The culture we live in is constantly bombarding us with "thou shalls" and "thou shall nots" all the while telling us we are just being ourselves and this is the path to happiness. For some, the path is simply emptiness in the dark.

Lyrics
Feeding on the bread that they have made
Building on the stones that they have laid
Anyone would think that I'd be strong and never feel this wrong
Parroting the words that they have spoke
Chasing all the dreams that they have woke
Holding to the promise they declared, I thought that I'd be spared
But I'm just falling, crawling through the night
I'm just falling, calling in the dark
Dancing to the music they have played
Bowing to the idols they have made
Anyone would think that I'd be wise without these blinded eyes
Sailing with the wind upon my back
Following the broad and easy path
Holding to the vow that they had gave, I thought that I'd be saved
But I'm just falling, crawling through the night
I'm just falling, calling in the dark
I thought that I had gained the world
Gained it all, and kept my soul
Master of my own destiny
Or was it they all along?
Feeding on the bread that they have made
Building on the stones that they have laid
Anyone would think that I'd be strong and never feel this wrong
Parroting the words that they have spoke
Chasing all the dreams that they have woke
Holding to the promise they declared, I thought that I'd be spared
But I'm just falling, crawling through the night
I'm just falling, calling in the dark
But I'm just falling, crawling through the night
I'm just falling, calling in the dark
