Get your story straight It wasn't very convincing So drop the act I suggest you let this sink in No false pretense It doesn't make any sense And no less Consider this a lesson Redemption Confession If you will I have seen the rise I have seen the fall When I look at you I see them all I have seen it in your eyes The road to your own demise Falling down and I can't get a grip (what the hell is going on, I feel so strange) Falling down and I can't get a grip (what was I thinking) Falling down and I can't get a grip (when I laid my hand upon your face and said) Falling down and I can't get a grip (what may come will come but I will never stray) It's so tragic It's dramatic It's pathetic, it's heretic Is it an entire nation? The dynamics and the statics It's a simple observation They offer no solutions We turn out to be statistics It's the cynic and the saint We do not feel ashamed We do not feel a thing We do not feel a thing We do not feel a thing We do not feel a thing I have seen the rise I have seen the fall When I look at you, I see them all I have seen it in your eyes The road to your own demise Falling down and I can't get a grip (what the hell is going on, I feel so strange) Falling down and I can't get a grip (what was I thinking) Falling down and I can't get a grip (when I laid my hand upon your face and said) Falling down and I can't get a grip (what may come will come but I will never stray) The minute you came here, you came here to lose I have seen the rise I have seen the fall When I look at you, I see them all I have seen it in your eyes The road to your own demise Falling down and I can't get a grip (what the hell is going on, I feel so strange) Falling down and I can't get a grip (what was I thinking) Falling down and I can't get a grip (when I laid my hand upon your face and said) Falling down and I can't get a grip (what may come will come but I will never stray)
