[Verse 1]
One step back, two steps down
Silent weight of a fragile crown
You wore it well, until it tore
Now you're the stain on the kitchen floor
A polished wreck, a perfect mess
Wrapped in the guilt you won’t confess
The air is thin, the light is dim
Watching the water reach your chin
[Pre-Chorus]
Tugging the thread of a loose design
Walking the edge of a jagged line
Waiting for someone to cut the cord
While you sharpen the edge of your own sword
[Chorus]
Falling
Into the hollow of your own hands
Crawling
Through the wreckage of your grand plans
It’s a long way down from the pedestal you built
Drowning in the luxury of your own guilt
Fallen
[Verse 2]
So unexpected, so divine
To watch the collapse of your bloodline
You’re addicted to the descent
Spent every ounce of the love you lent
Just a fly in the amber of your own pride
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
[Bridge]
Did you think you were the only one
To burn your wings against the sun
Did you think the ground would move for you
Or that the sky would stay this blue
It’s poetic justice
[Final Chorus]
Falling
Into the hollow of your own hands
Crawling
Through the wreckage of your grand plans
It’s a long way down from the pedestal you built
Drowning in the luxury of your own guilt
Fallen
[Outro]
Down...
Down...
You chose to live...
