The Faded Fall Down

I’ve got a devil in my ear whispering secrets

In limericks and wishes inside an empty genie lamp

I can’t stay long; I should have gone to catch the broken roller coaster I’ve been on

I’m not doing alright, life’s a flash in the night

So, I’m contemplating going to the other side

Where I’ll rot in the limelight and run out of insight

I’ll leave a trail of breadcrumbs ‘cause I’m 

Chorus

Riding on a dead highway

Thinking it’s about time

I started doing things my way

Put the pieces in line

You’re running faster than lightning

Metaphorically bound 

To face a future so frightening

Nothing’s saving you now

The faded fall down.

I’ve got an angel on my back shooting my conscience 

With honesty rockets and breaking all my promises apart

With nails the shipwreck sails

I’m sleeping in a coffin lined with wedding veils

Where the screaming will stop like a secondhand clock

Underneath the backward thunder where the bombs will drop on a premature birthday

That ends in the worst way

So, pack you presents past tense cause you’re

Chorus
