Falling Away

Lyrics

There's a fire by the wayside And it burns so bright As the smoke rolls in 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 [Guitar Solo] So we stop by the wayside And we think we're smart And 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 in over us And we are doing nothing at all And 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 [Guitar Solo] [Guitar/Keyboard Solo] We're breaking, we're stalling We're drifting, we're falling We're headstrong for so long We're always falling away We're powerless (we're breaking), we're paranoid (we're stalling) We'll never know (we're drifting) what we destroyed (we're falling) We're arrogant (we're headstrong), so ignorant (for so long) We're falling (we're always), 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
