Sweet Downfall

Two thieves came stealing

Out of deepest need

They thought it might be healing

To satisfy their greed

Tearing on

While the city turned around them

Tearing on

Through winters darkest night



You will be my sweet downfall

Rising like a sun when you call

And like a flame that could not last

Burning way to fast

Made to feel it all

My sweet downfall



She unafraid of darkness

She don't close her eyes

Some might say she's heartless

I hold her while she cries

Tearing on

Like power through deep water

Tearing on

Like no one that I know



You will be my sweet downfall

Rising like a sun when you call

And like a flame that could not last

Burning way to fast

Made to feel it all

My sweet downfall



And all you ever wanted

Wrapped up in her arms

And riding down this flood

You love to drown

And somewhere in the current

Some vague melody whispers

"This relief can only take you down"



And like a flame that could not last

You take away my past

Made me feel it all

My sweet downfall

And like a flashlight through the dark

Clutching at your heart

Made to feel it all

My sweet downfall
