One Level Down

Awoke and found myself
lying on a wooden floor
thought this had come to an end
I won't be shattered anymore
but the floor slipped to the walls
and had me crashing down again

one level down, another round,
one battle lost, when will I reach the final ground?
one level down, what have I found?
time and again I'm lying shattered on the ground

where did I fail, did I go wrong?
there is no crime I could confess
I just keep tossing floor to floor -
this must be purgatory's taste
and as I fall I'm crying out "I do surrender"
I know there is no end, no soil will ever hold me safe

one level down
