Falling Away Lyrics

And Tonight We Burn Down Everything
We Worked So Hard To Build
The Ashes Will Reign Down On Me
Memories set aflame, Sail Away
What We Said If We Can Make This
Then We Can Break This Into Two Memories

I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again

And tonight I will be a vessel
with these sails set aflame
let this ocean of our memories
carry me out to sea i will be
fall beneath the crashing waves into my grave
I will sleep

I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again

If We can make this
then we can break it
if we can build it
then we can burn it down

I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again

and now you're farther away
now you're farther away
now you're farther away from me again

And Tonight We Burn Down Everything
We Worked So Hard To Build 
The Ashes Will Reign Down On Me
Memories set aflame, Sail Away
What We Said If We Can Make This
Then We Can Break This Into Two Memories

I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again

And tonight I will be a vessel
with these sails set aflame
let this ocean of our memories
carry me out to sea i will be
fall beneath the crashing waves into my grave
I will sleep

I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again

If We can make this
then we can break it
if we can build it
then we can burn it down

I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away
I feel you fallin' away from me again

and now you're farther away
now you're farther away
now you're farther away from me again

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Well, it's obvious that he feels someone (who I presume is close to him) is distancing from him. 'And tonight I will be a vessel with these sails set aflame let this ocean of our memories carry me out to sea I will be fall beneath the crashing waves into my grave I will sleep.' To me these are very powerful lyrics, and suggest that he feels the memories that he and this person spent together are consuming his thoughts. Just my opinion ^^.
