Falling Away

There's a fire by the wayside and it burns so bright
As the smoke rolls 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
[CHORUS] We're powerless, we're paranoid
We'll never know what we destroyed
We're arrogant, so ignorant
We're falling, falling away
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 over us and we are doing nothing at all
We turned away from heaven's bright sun,
so here we are
[CHORUS]
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 paranoid (We're breaking, we're stalling)
We'll never know what we destroyed (We're drifting, we're falling)
We're arrogant, so ignorant (We're headstrong for so long)
We're falling, falling away (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
