Story Behind The Song
I wrote this about Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain by imagining how they must have felt being so famous yet unsatisfied and why they with such great talent could do this horrible drug heroin and eventually take their own lives because of it.

Lyrics
I wanna get high high every single night
and numb this pain inside
I?m falling, I?m falling
Cause when I feel low low way down in a hole
it?s such a lonely ride
I?m falling, I?m falling down
I start to shake and sweat
I haven?t kicked this yet
it?s burning a hole in me
It?s been three days of hell
pain I know oh so well
feels like an eternity
A cigarette could ease my mind
from all the dark thoughts left behind
I wanna get high high every single night
and numb this pain inside
I?m falling, I?m falling
Cause when I feel low low way down in a hole
it?s such a lonely ride
I?m falling, I?m falling down
Caught in this dance of death
repaying some old debt
from lives I?ve forgotten
Fame keeps me paralyzed
sucks out whats left inside
wake up at the bottom
This isn?t what I thought it?d be
seems everybody?s changing but me
I wanna get high high every single night
and numb this pain inside
I?m falling, I?m falling
Cause when I feel low low way down in a hole
it?s such a lonely ride
I?m falling, I?m falling down
My life?s a mess I?m in distress
I need someone something to make it go away
Can you be my savior tonight?
I?m falling I?m falling down
