Lyrics
“The Fallen Sky”
I am a wreck
You may admire me
From a distance everything seems so easy
And I may hate myself
But you love me, don’t you?
I am nothing
Living on borrowed time
Following my own footsteps
Echoing in these castle halls
There is nothing that belongs to me
In every possible way you are the boss of me
I live in scrutiny: indebted servitude
I think it all ends today
I am nothing
Living on borrowed time
Following my own footsteps
Echoing in these castle halls
You are a piss-ant, absentee landlord
And I don’t give a fuck about you
Maybe I can’t take it with me
But I don’t have to leave it behind
You can have every ounce of this shit
Have another drink
Do another line
Follow Benzedrine with turpentine
All these precious things
Smothered in gasoline
Born lovingly in purple flame
Take another hit
Just one more pill
Beat my pretty head against the wall
I light the final match
Won’t hesitate
Don’t try to intervene
It’s far too late
