Vertigo (work in progress...and it's a bit different) (lyrics, genre)

Meh. Best way to describe it is progressive.
It's very experimental.
One of the tunes I couldn't get out of my head, till I put it on paper. Have at it.
I will refrain from putting my usual verse/chorus markers, as I'm probably not finished yet.

------------------------------------------
If my head's spinning...
How do I know my bed is still?
I'm layin' here watching the ceiling move
It all seems so real

How do I know that time is passing?
I can see the shadows on the wall
Horrific in their very nature
It just seems so wrong

They shift in patterns unbeknown
To my normal self
But when I'm layin' here watching the ceiling move
I can't help but tell... of how they

Come to me
Follow me
Get through to me
And make me believe that

I will see
Greater things
Prophecies
On the other side of sanity

Hold my hand, so I don't fall
The floor is rushing up to meet me
I'm so unsure, I cannot stand
The floor has gone from underneath me

And the ceiling gives way
So I fall into space

I fall from my bed and my sanity,
My friends and my family
My head has abandoned me

Yeah, I fall into space

And all seems so lost
It's coming undone
Yeah, everything's gone

Yeah, it all seemed so lost
It all seemed so lost (x2)

Till you,

Came to me
Followed me
Got through to me
And made me believe that

I would see
Greater things
Prophecies
That are now, comin' true in front of me

And now I'm free
Of my sanity

Now I'm free
Of my memory
