Fall Away Lyrics
Fall away, for once I don't have to pretend
And so today, I JUST DON'T WANT THIS DAY TO END
These things that people seem so sure of
Feel empty as if hollowed out
To me it seems to take so much courage
To belive in something without a doubt
But to live and die just for yourself
Just doesn't make too much sense to me
It seems shallow and utterly worthless
But selfishness is what you preach
Like a sinking ship, you fight so intensly
For a battle that you've already lost
Weighed down by burdens so immensly
It's your life to lose, who will mourn your loss?
I PICK MY BATTLES, BUT IF I WIN
IT'S NOTHING SHORT OF EMPTY TO ME
BUT IT'S ALRIGHT, 'CAUSE IN THE END
YOUR LIFE IS MY TRUE VICTORY
And doesn't your heart beat a little faster
At the mention of eternity
And does anything else really matter
When faced with the prospect of being free?
What will be my legacy?
What will live on after I'm gone?
Will they see through to the worst in me?
Or will they know that I stood strong
REFUSE TO TAKE REPONSIBILLITY
MY SELFISHNESS IS WEARING THROUGH
AS THESE IMPERFECTIONS GROW INSIDE OF ME
THE ONE WHO FILLS MY GAPS IS YOU
Fall Away
I don't want to break your heart again
SHOULD I RE-LIVE TODAY, I'D DO IT ALL THE SAME AGAIN
Fall Away, for once I don't have to pretend
And so today, I JUST DON'T WANT THIS DAY TO END
And so today, I JUST DON'T WANT THIS DAY TO END
These things that people seem so sure of
Feel empty as if hollowed out
To me it seems to take so much courage
To belive in something without a doubt
But to live and die just for yourself
Just doesn't make too much sense to me
It seems shallow and utterly worthless
But selfishness is what you preach
Like a sinking ship, you fight so intensly
For a battle that you've already lost
Weighed down by burdens so immensly
It's your life to lose, who will mourn your loss?
I PICK MY BATTLES, BUT IF I WIN
IT'S NOTHING SHORT OF EMPTY TO ME
BUT IT'S ALRIGHT, 'CAUSE IN THE END
YOUR LIFE IS MY TRUE VICTORY
And doesn't your heart beat a little faster
At the mention of eternity
And does anything else really matter
When faced with the prospect of being free?
What will be my legacy?
What will live on after I'm gone?
Will they see through to the worst in me?
Or will they know that I stood strong
REFUSE TO TAKE REPONSIBILLITY
MY SELFISHNESS IS WEARING THROUGH

Fall Away is about living for something greater than yourself. I wrote this one day a few summers ago after a day that was so perfect that I wanted it to last forever.
I got down on my knees and prayed that the perfect day would never end.
A few hours later the sun set and the day ended, but the feeling of complete peace with my life never did.
eh...this song is alright...itd be so much better if the lyrics were:
Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor
Beaten, why for? Can't take much more
One - nothing wrong with me Two - nothing wrong with me Three - nothing wrong with me Four - nothing wrong with me One - something's got to give Two - something's got to give Three - something's got to give
Now let the bodies hit the floor
Push me again This is the end
One - nothing wrong with me Two - nothing wrong with me Three - nothing wrong with me Four - nothing wrong with me One - something's got to give Two - something's got to give Three - something's got to give
Now let the bodies hit the floor
Skin against skin Blood and bone You're all by yourself but You're not alone You wanted in and now youre here Driven by hate Consumed by fear
Let the bodies hit the floor
One - nothing wrong with me Two - nothing wrong with me Three - nothing wrong with me Four - nothing wrong with me One - something's got to give Two - something's got to give Three - something's got to give
Let the bodies hit the floor
