"Call Me Allison Wonderland"

How far down the rabbit hole can I go?

Nothing matters, nothing to show

Falling for eternity

All alone, by myself, infinitely

Knocking at death's door

Take me away, I don't want this life anymore

No one knows

How do I put on such a good show?

Deeper and deeper down the spiral

I've reached the bottom, I'm in limbo

It's white and empty, where did I go?

This is just the beginning, don't lose hope

Suffocating, it's getting harder to breathe

This doesn't feel right

Craving pain to make me feel at ease

My darkness has consumed the light

Down the hole I continue to fall

Can I catch a break?

Something's got to give once and for all

There's only so much pain one can take

I don't know who I've become

Tick-tock, the time doesn't stop

Trying to make my way home

This time, I promise, I won't succumb

Tired of being at rock bottom

There's no where to go but the top

Headed into another dimension

It's time to wake up

Realization sets in

My soul has been awoken

Mind says I'm worthy

Heart says set yourself free

Eventually, I make my way out

Many years of falling and crying in doubt

Coming out alive, hopeful, and strong

Why did I have to fall for so long?

The suffering gives us strength

A feeling of victory no one can take

After years of humming the same old tune

I had to die to find my truth

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.
