Cause Of The Downfall

Sorry
It ain’t the right word but the first that comes to mind
It’s holding you down
Another feeling that comes with a price tag
It’s much like building a house of cards during a hurricane
Who’s gonna protect you when the saints go marching in to cast first stones?
Sure, they take their safety as a given
What’s left to glorify?
Dropping bombs to force a change of tone
These thoughts have drained me long enough
Here’s to all the people we’ve forsaken
What’s left?
What’s left to glorify?
Feelings coming back just to feel old
These thoughts have drained me long enough
Reason
It ain’t the right word but the first that comes to mind
You think you’re safe sound
But who knows whether you’re ascending or falling?
It’s much like performing surgery with worn down plastic knives
This is the cue for a flashback scene
And right here’s where the colours fade
Sure, they take their safety as a given
What’s left to glorify?
Dropping bombs to force a change of tone
These thoughts have drained me long enough
Here’s to all the people we’ve forsaken
What’s left?
What’s left to glorify?
Feelings coming back just to feel old
Home is where the stench is
Kill the choir up in it’s gallery
There’s no time to wait for the sermon to be over
It’s you they’re out to get
They’re lying in wait for
They’ve caught a fever
It’s gonna burn them from the inside out
You’re way too headstrong, baby
Three cheers to the cause of the downfall
Sure, thy take their safety as a given
What’s left to glorify?
Dropping bombs to force a change of tone
These thoughts have drained me long enough
Here’s to all the people we’ve forsaken
What’s left?
What’s left to glorify?
Feelings coming back just to feel old
Home is where the stench is
