Falling Forever

This is just a little song I wrote, I don't usually write songs so sorry if it isn't very good...The tempo starts off slow and then speeds up a little at the chorus and then slows down again. It kinda has an Evanessence sound to it...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm broken inside
Eyes open wide
Screaming, Crawling
Lost in the darkness
Feeding the sickness
I'm falling
Falling

Chorus:
I'm falling forever
I can't find the light
My faith is fading
My walls are crashing down
Around me

I can't stand it
I'm down on my knees
Gun to my head
Eyes filled with dread
I'm still Falling
Falling

Chorus:
I'm falling forever
I can't find the light
My faith is fading
My walls are crashing down
Around me

And I'm screaming(screaming)
I am Crawling!(I'm crawling)
I'm fighting for my life
A battle I am losing 
I can't see the light
I'm running out of time
I'm falling
Still Falling

Chorus: (X2)
I'm falling forever
I can't find the light
My faith is fading
My walls are crashing down
Around me

It was really good. The only problem I had with this, Is that you didn't label anything else but the chorus. You have an intro, your verses and a coda/outro. But you don't have them labeled, which made me confused. Other than this I loved your song.

Hi, Fallen Angel!

Your first song?! Well done! This is an excellent first song. I wish my first song was this good. xD Lordy. I might be out of my league here. Are you a poet perhaps?

Reason I ask is that your use of words and imagery is beautiful. Such strong pictures. It's just awesome. And from what you said the music would do? I think that just works. So well. In fact, I felt the strongest impact around here:

I can't stand it
I'm dont on my knees
Gun to my head
Eyes filled with dread
I'm still falling
Falling


This was awesome, and I imagine the music would spike at this point or around it. It's just awesome.

I feel like the song lost itself around the end when I, as the reader, don't get a feel for why the speaker may be feeling this way. Not even a hint of "you" anywhere. Just that they're miserable. I'm wondering if they're just depressed? I don't know if hinting at some story or situation would hurt your song, but food for thought. It's certainly a very emotional piece, I just don't know why I should care!

Fantastic start to the lyrical world, Angel. Well done! I look forward to seeing more of your work. :)

Keep writing!

Thank you for the review! And I like to keep my readers thinking. I did that so that anyone that reads it that has been through this, no matter the reason, can relate to it in some way. I don't want to limit it to one particular situation.
