Downfall

Truth burns your eyes

Don’t act surprised

Like someone opened the curtains

On the person I really am inside

What do we have

That we didn’t earn

I’m sick of hiding the power

To be the shelter your body needs to learn

I wish I had a purpose

I could do without the fame

I need someone to miss me

When they hear my name

What we find in the ashes

Then we lose in the fire

I will burn to keep you alive

You are my downfall

You are my downfall I know

You are my, my heaven my hell

My thunder, my calm, I’m blaming myself

For putting you up so high

With a love so tall, you are my downfall

We slowly build

Like castles in the sand

Waves are crashing

And I become a vessel

To carry what you can’t

You give me a purpose

When I’ve had it with the fame

I need someone to hold me

When I go insane

What we find in the ashes

Then we lose in the fire

I will burn to keep you alive

You are my downfall

You are my downfall I know

You are my, my heaven my hell

My thunder, my calm, I’m blaming myself

For putting you up so high

With a love so tall, you are my downfall
