Fall, fall-fall-falling tonight
Fall, fall-fall-falling tonight
Fall, fall-fall-falling tonight
Fall, fall-fall-fall
Oh, what a brilliant deception we have wrought
Believing ourselves to be self made
The blueprints on the shoulders of the giants that we perch upon
Now faded and forgotten
Its business we say and we'll leave the bodies in our wake
To ignorant and arrogant to notice our mistakes
And the higher we stack up retention, the further it has to fall
Fall, fall-fall-falling tonight
Fall, fall-fall-falling tonight
Fall, fall-fall-falling tonight
Fall, fall-fall-fall
Well, I stand atop that high-handed pile of filth
And watch my imperious lungs swell with pompous pride
And I've taken my place at the bottom of the heap
Where I've had my bones used as a
Step ladder for men I counted as friends
So forgive for the times I couldn't see the forest
Through the twisted branches of my own conceit
For I know now that I am but a sapling
Sheltered on every side by mighty, unshakable oaths
See how I've landed
Broken beneath the trees
(I know) I know you'd pick me up again
I know you'd pick me, you'd pick me
Safe in the branches, towering over me
(I know) I know you'd pick me up again
I know you'd pick me, you'd pick me
See how I've landed
Broken beneath the trees, I know
I know you'd pick me, you'd pick me
Safe in the branches, towering over me
(I know) I know you'd pick me up again
I know you'd pick me, you'd pick me
