As I fall down gently
Here I go tumbling down down the sheets they hold me
Fall into the valley
Melting in crumbling the mountains are steady
As I fall back in your arms
There’s no need to say a word
'Cause you’re all I’ve ever heard
As I fall back in your arms
Speaking from a distance
Holding on won’t be long reach for the moments I’m missing
Dream of the same sun setting
With each moon I’ll see you soon, I hope you’re not forgetting
As I fall back in your arms
There’s no need to say a word
'Cause you’re all I’ve ever heard
As I fall back in your arms
Always carried me home
And I couldn’t live without
All the nights I spent by your side
Eat away at my mind
Now I lie down lonely
Here I go crying stuck on how things used to be
I’m waiting in the valley
Wish I knew a way to you but time seems to hold me back from
Falling into your arms
There’s no need to say a word
'Cause you’re all I’ve ever heard
As I fall back in your arms
Your arms always carried me home
As I fall back in your arms
There’s no need to say a word
'Cause you’re all I’ve ever heard
As I fall back in your arms

Coals in your eyes
You set sight on taking it all by storm
You’ve worked for more
Than this world can offer you
Isn’t it cruel to be
Aware of how fast you’re moving to nowhere
And all that time you spent chasing the sunset
But it’s not there
Smoke on the rise
Fire's gone but the heat still burns inside
Up in the sky
Ashes fly scattered all around
Will you be found simply
Alive always holding your breath
With tired lungs
Waiting for the day you get what you’re giving
But it won’t come
Sparks will ignite
Still to spite the light that once blinded you
But it’s too soon
to believe it’s all set in stone
You’re not alone
You're not alone in the
Future your story repeats itself for someone else
And all that time they spent
Praying for what you could never get
Went just as well

What would my mother say
If she saw me floating in this grave?
Watching the chaos fade
What would she say?
The weight of the waves
They drag me down like
The weight of the words
That drip off your lips
The sound of silence surrounds me
Hide away in the darkness cast by the rays
Of the light that pierce the open sky
Pierce my eyes
But I’m still afraid of the dark
And I sink and I sink sink in this cave
Watch the bubbles rise
And the birds fly home
They can go but I know it’s impossible
Mother is waiting for me
But I….
Watch it slip away
Watch it slip away
Watch the chaos fade
Watch it slip away
Why do bones break under pressure?
In just a measure of time I’ve broken all the ties
That hold me
Now I realize it’s the mess of life that’s not worth living
So I’m drinking it up
Oh no it’s not worth fighting
And I sink and I sink sink in this cave
Watch the bubbles rise
And the birds fly home
They can go but I know it’s impossible
Nothing is waiting for me
And I….
What would my mother say?
What would my mother say
If she saw me floating in this grave?
Watching the chaos fade
What would she say?
Baby girl, don't worry away
Some things you can’t change
Don’t spend your days afraid of what’s next
Gotta give your mind some time to rest
Put your soles in front of your toes
This world is bigger than you know
Baby girl, don't worry away
Don’t just…
Watch it slip away
Watch it slip away
Watch the chaos fade
Watch it slip away
And I sink and I sink sink in this cave
Watch the bubbles rise
And the birds fly home
They can go but I know it’s impossible
Nothing is waiting for me
And I….
Watch it slip away
Watch it slip away
Watch the chaos fade
Watch it slip a...

Do you really know what to do with me?
Is it all a show to pull me and mold me control me into a clean
Cut version, you can check off every box
Oh don’t you know I never expected perfection from anything?
Oh I never expected much from anything
And I never wanted this much from anything
Is it all a game a cryptic masquerade
And I’m put to shame by all the ways that you say I could do better but
It never ends no matter how I try
'Cause when you smile I roll over slowly and let it consume me
Oh I never expected much from anything
And I never wanted this much from anything
And I never expected much from anything
And I never…
Do you really think it’s all because of you
All the nights I spent on my side with my eyes wide open I
Try to carry on
With my life, but I’m tired of sleeping with the lie
That I never expected much from anything
And I never wanted this much from anything
I expected too much from everything
And I never wanted this much from anything
And I expected too much from everything
And I never wanted this much from anything
And I never wanted this much from anything
And I expected too much from everything

I’ve been lifted higher up than I should
So scared of falling
Won’t be long before they move on and I can
Crash and burn
This is all new to me
I can let it hurt
Embrace the misery
Come down with me
Come down
With me
Drop me into the high seas swallowed up in the blood line of the
Mistakes made before my time
'Cause I wanna see clarity when I
Crash and burn
This is all new to me
I can let it hurt
Embrace the misery
Is it too much to ask for love to fight through this mess we made?
Oh is it too much to ask for love?
God above, is that enough, to help us through the mess we make?
Is it ever enough to fix what we break?
Come down with me
