Song | Oh How We Fell |
Artist | Matt Elliott |
Album | The Broken Man |
[02:55.69] | The sudden realization that not all is what it seems |
[03:03.01] | Rises somehow exponentially |
[03:08.78] | It turns from a cry into a wail |
[03:14.00] | Then a scream and then a howl |
[03:18.12] | An endless broken dull soliloquy |
[03:22.94] | |
[03:26.11] | Pain can force the hand and turn the mind |
[03:33.15] | The pictures taint the judgement every time |
[03:40.61] | Then I turn around and see a wreck strewn on the road |
[03:48.86] | The pictures and the pain you'll never know |
[03:54.29] | The pictures and the pain that I was good enough |
[03:59.05] | To keep from scarring you |
[04:03.68] | Some things are meant for you and you alone |
[04:09.25] | |
[04:11.36] | And so I add more fuel to the fire |
[04:18.82] | And try to find an answer in the pyre |
[04:27.22] | At first the flames a comfort but the smoke gets in the eyes |
[04:34.61] | There's only so much left that one can burn |
[04:39.74] | And now I find I'm dancing 'round the ashes of the bridges that I've burned |
[04:49.65] | I take nothing from the lessons that I've learned |
[04:54.53] | |
[04:57.27] | And so the wheel relentlessly goes round |
[05:04.76] | Just cuts the rut a little deeper down |
[05:12.36] | This youthful smile has turned into a frown |
[05:17.76] | The eyes forever down |
[05:21.79] | The spark forever drowned |
[05:24.33] | |
[06:42.11] | I'll sing as I go |
[06:48.53] | I've learned well that it's best not to know |
[06:56.26] | And I use up the last of what's left |
[07:02.32] | In a vain effort just to forget |
[07:07.18] | |
[07:10.89] | This arm contracts as it's pulled |
[07:17.55] | It's disturbing the calm of the pool |
[07:24.32] | I am lost in this mournful refrain |
[07:29.50] | While re-analyzing this stain |
[07:35.63] | This tainted wreck of lies again |
[07:42.69] | |
[07:45.18] | And if what you said is true |
[07:52.03] | I'm condemned to repeat 'till I'm through |
[07:58.69] | least until I can learn to forget |
[08:03.72] | Or learn simply not to notice |
[08:07.87] | |
[08:11.31] | And this dream I could weep |
[08:17.79] | So profoundly I finally could sleep |
[08:23.97] | Undisturbed by the demons and shades |
[08:29.60] | And this endless cycle of betrayal |
[08:34.01] | |
[08:35.50] | Oh how we fell |
[08:42.64] | |
[08:49.06] | Aand how is one supposed to mourn if one is not entirely sure what has died |
[09:03.29] | And if it's dead and if it's dead and if it's dead and if it's dead why can't I cry |
[09:12.50] | |
[09:17.50] | And all the things you told me that you read upon my palm they were lies |
[09:30.35] | Say that they were lies |
[09:39.55] | … |
