FALLING WAY BEYOND
(Chorus)
And as the children sing, we slowly die to the distant sounds of lullabies
And as the church bells ring, we fail to survive, just fade away with no goodbyes
And as the flowers grow, no-one knows just what is going on
And the petals fall, just like us all... falling way beyond
What have we done to get here, who really holds the gun?
Looking at each other with serenity, not knowing what we've become
Distorted truths and anguished lies, a mediocre body that's paralysed
A finger on the trigger, who's in control? A distant mind and shattered souls
And no-one knows what's going on,
We've lived this lie for far too long
So in our deaths we'll realise
The lives we led were a waste of time
(Chorus)
Sheltered days take a toll, when we're left out fighting on our own
Friend or foe? Fight in a team or fight a losing battle all alone
But it doesn't matter this time; we have to fight ourselves
'Cause in this day and age of war, we're all left hanging from the shelf
And no-one knows what's going on,
We've lived this lie for far too long
So in our deaths we'll realise
The lives we led were a waste of time
(Chorus)
And as the ground breaks beneath our feet, we all gasp for that last breath
In a false hope that somehow it can make a difference to the path fate's forced us to take
But deep inside, we know this is it, we all know this is the end
But denial is so comforting, so we rest there peacefully for a while
And still no-one knows what's going on,
We've lived this lie for far too long
So in our deaths we'll realise
The lives we led were a waste of time
(Chorus to fade)
(Chorus)
And as the children sing, we slowly die to the distant sounds of lullabies
And as the church bells ring, we fail to survive, just fade away with no goodbyes
And as the flowers grow, no-one knows just what is going on
And the petals fall, just like us all... falling way beyond
What have we done to get here, who really holds the gun?
Looking at each other with serenity, not knowing what we've become
Distorted truths and anguished lies, a mediocre body that's paralysed
A finger on the trigger, who's in control? A distant mind and shattered souls
And no-one knows what's going on,
We've lived this lie for far too long
So in our deaths we'll realise
The lives we led were a waste of time
(Chorus)
Sheltered days take a toll, when we're left out fighting on our own
Friend or foe? Fight in a team or fight a losing battle all alone
But it doesn't matter this time; we have to fight ourselves
'Cause in this day and age of war, we're all left hanging from the shelf
And no-one knows what's going on,
We've lived this lie for far too long
So in our deaths we'll realise
The lives we led were a waste of time
(Chorus)
And as the ground breaks beneath our feet, we all gasp for that last breath
In a false hope that somehow it can make a difference to the path fate's forced us to take
But deep inside, we know this is it, we all know this is the end
But denial is so comforting, so we rest there peacefully for a while
And still no-one knows what's going on,
We've lived this lie for far too long
So in our deaths we'll realise
The lives we led were a waste of time
(Chorus to fade)
