Falling Away

There's a fire by the wayside
And it burns so bright
As the smoke rolls over us
We think that we're bathing in light
As we tend to our gardens
The world is growing wild
But we live in our tiny heads
And can't see past our own tiny minds

As we turn away from heaven's bright sun
To earth's dark star

We're powerless we're paranoid
We'll never know what we destroyed
We're arrogant so ignorant
We're falling falling away

So we stop by the wayside
And we think we're smart
We vote for the pretty ones
And curse when the world falls apart
And we swear we'll do better
But the sky's about to fall
So the smoke rolls over us
And we are doing nothing at all

We turned away from heaven's bright sun
So here we are

We're powerless we're paranoid
We'll never know what we destroyed
We're arrogant so ignorant
We're falling falling away

We're breaking we're stalling
We're drifting we're falling
We're headstrong for so long
We're always falling away
