Falling Down... |
|
Well, you can jump the guns and corners |
|
To save your place |
|
It'll never hide the guilt that's on your face |
|
And you can duck and dodge and scramble |
|
And make that sound |
|
It'll never match the art of falling down |
|
Wishing it away will call them all to stay |
|
Well, you blame the slings and arrows |
|
That curse this fate |
|
And it still won't shave the cost of coming late |
|
Never a clean escape |
|
Becoming what you hate |
|
And you can justify the cause and nail across to it |
|
But you need to get lost to get you found |
|
And it's a long drink of faith 'till you believe it |
|
And you come across the art of falling down |
|
Turning it away invites them all to stay |
|
You can light yourself a candle to ease your pain |
|
It'll never find the song to sing your name |
|
Ain't it a burning shame |
|
Enough to drive you sane |
|
Chasing it away will call them back to play |
|
You can fly your righteous angels |
|
On a golden chain |
|
But it's a harder fall than landing on your blade |
|
And you can call it by it's name and put an end to it |
|
But it'll never change the art of falling down |
|
Falling Down... |
