Falling Away - Seven Lions

We are bringing the system down. Light the fire. Watch the flames spread. Take a step back it burns brighter. And I know what you're thinking. But it leads to nowhere. There's a reason you took the wrong path. It's for power. It's for glory. A statistic of the same story. And I know what you're thinking. But it gets you nowhere. I'm falling away. I think I'm falling away from you. I'm burning inside. I feel like I can't escape the truth. I've got my reasons. Why I fight back. And I need you. We need to pay back the system For everything that they put us through. They try to teach us how to be. They spread their poison to you and me can't you see. We were born free. Cold air seeps into your skin. And I know why I'm standing here. I know why I'm still here. We're not giving up. We're not giving up. Can you hear me now? Fuck the system. Burn it down. We pray for wings to set us free. We pray. We pray. Set me free. I pray for wings to set me free. I pray for wings to set me free. I'm falling away. I'm falling away from you. I'm falling away. I think I'm falling away from you. I'm burning inside. I feel like I can't escape the truth.

I didn't want to think Cause I knew I was out of my mind You pulled me from the brink And brought me to the other side And I Think we're there And I Think we're there So goodnight goodnight Don't have to have it all figured out We'll be alright What comes about is gonna come about Tomorrow when we meet Just take me to a place I've never been Find me in the sweetest oblivion Oh, oh We have it all In front of us And I can see the Sun is up to cover us I'm lifted up Take me to a beautiful day And I feel like our Shadow is falling away Falling away And I don't want to go I want to be here all night No one has to know No one has to say it's alright 'Cause I Think we're there And I Think we're there So goodnight goodnight Don't have to have it all figured out We'll be alright What comes back is gonna come back Tomorrow when we meet Just take me to a place I've never been Find me in the sweetest oblivion We have it all In front of us And I can't see the Sun is up to cover us I'm lifted up Take me to a beautiful day And I feel like our Shadow is falling away Falling away

Hungry is my state of mind Bad love left me high and dry World is getting hotter Lead me to the water You know I need some Ah ah would you kill for your own that's how I feel in my bones Aye la la lions going rah rah And you pray you're not prey Everyday, everyday yeah I can't see the world that you want me to see I won't be the man that you want me to be Darkness creeping late at night Knows just how to talk to me when I'm tired Feeding on my weakness Planted in the season when I was so young Would you kill for your own that's how I feel in my bones Aye la la lions going rah rah And you pray you're not prey Everyday, everyday yeah I can't see the world that you want me to see I won't be the man that you want me to be I won't let the devil get over But when the water's boiled up and the pot starts to burn You start to understand the man Oooh, yeah

Red sun go down way over dirty town Starlings are sweeping around crazy shoals Yes and a girl is there high heeling across the square Wind it blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light She looks around to find a face she can like. Church bell clinging on just a trying to get a crowd for Evensong Nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays They're all in the station praying for trains Congregation late again It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days Drunk old soldier he give her a fright He's a crazy lion he's a-howling for a fight Strap hanging gunshot sound Doors slamming on the overground Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone Her evening paper is horror torn But there's hope later for Capricorns Her lucky stars give her just enough to get her home Then she's reading about a swing to the right But she's a-thinking about a stranger in the night I'm thinking about the lions Thinking about the lions What happened to the lions tonight. Tonight tonight Thinking about the lions
