Fall
by American Arson

Album: Rise & Fall - EP

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
