Fallen...
You said you wouldn't let me fall
if I was near the edge
I trusted you to pull me back
if I slipped off that ledge
I'm spinning now and scared

all around I'm hearing "never"
Are you still here or have you gone?
Is this what we've become?
A ghost and an emotional wreck
who's now completely numb?

Here is Organ Hospital,
where doctors do the impossible
