lyrics

THINGS ARE FALLING APART

You had your whole world on a string
Or so you thought you had everything
You told me it would work itself out
Without any cost
But there’s always a cost

I saw but did not believe
All the words you had written on your sleeve
Still you insist that you’re right
But we both know you’re wrong
You’re wrong

And here we are
At the end of whatever this was
And here we are
Staring into an abyss wondering what it does

Things are falling apart
Things are falling apart right now
Things are falling apart
Things are falling apart
Falling apart

You walked through life like you owned the whole world
And also you were still owed the whole world
Your pockets could hold it all
But it was never enough
All was never enough

If I could see the things that you see
All reflection and not one picture of me
Could you even let me in
Or is that even a thought
Is there ever a thought

Here we are
At the same place we’ve been before
Yeah here we are
Wondering if it’s an abyss or an exit door

Things are falling apart
Things are falling apart right now
Things are falling apart
Things are falling apart
Falling apart

Look around at the wreckage
Look at everything torn apart
Look at the fragments in your hands
How far we are from the start

This is not a puzzle to put back together
More a field of salted ground
We are standing at the bottom of a crater
The earth is shattered all around
You can try to make sense of the scattered pieces
Did they make sense yesterday
That tool in your hand is a hammer
And you can swing it either way

Things are falling apart
Things are falling apart right now
Things are falling apart
Things are falling apart
Falling apart
