Darkness falls on another day
 A dealer deals, a mother prays
 She doesn’t know - it’s too late
 She’s already dying

 And we’re falling in the darkness
 You said you’d never let it go
 And we’re falling in the darkness
 Are we losing our control?

 A public voice we never see
 Utters words on your TV
 Police raids here are cosmetic

 Across the street you check your bills
 A prophecy not yet fulfilled
 She turns a trick, you wonder who's pathetic

 And we’re falling in the darkness
 You said you’d never let it go
 And we’re falling in the darkness
 Are we losing our control?

 Day breaks and she wonders why
 Remembering begins to cry
 Kicks a chair, pulls down the blind
 Takes off her prescription

 Outside the door life goes on
 Detox mother's baby's born
 The radio now more forlorn
 Now we have come full circle

 And we’re falling in the darkness
 You said you’d never let it go
 And we’re falling in the darkness
 Are we losing our control?
