Lyrics The Offspring

The Offspring

Rise and Fall

This time you're really dead

Once followed, but always led

You thought you'd rise above it all

It's all inside your head

All ripping it up in shreds

I know someday you're gonna fall

And I don't wanna say I told you so

But I told you so

Now you've lost control

And I don't wanna be the rise and fall

So gimme more or nothing at all

You're in an awful way

Sucked in by what you crave

They just can't wait to see you crawl

And you can only laugh

Give in to the other half

They're only tearing down your walls

They've come to see you rise and fall

They're only tearing down your walls

They've come to see you rise and fall

And I don't wanna say you've lost control

Rise and fall is

Good and evil,

Appearance and reality,

Judgment and reflection.

It is to judge and to be judged,

To dream and to accept.

It is Triumph and despair,

Wish and realization,

And we are both.
