lyrics

All the knee jerk reactives, yea I see it every day
Has the preacher lost his tongue, at heaven’s gate
And the wounded under feet, well they’re crying out for more
The lions just had their fill, I hear them roar

In rising tides, the hollow pride,
Some things are better left to fall apart

So many voices I can hear, and they’re talking all at once
Sounds like the worst song, I’ve ever heard
I try to make it stop, but it’s chaos out there
Wolves come clutching at my heals, and I’m cornered

Words may change, as we turn the page
Some things are better left to fall apart
The darker shine, of the dying sun
Some things are better left to fall apart

Memories are turning in on me, but there’s no looking back
Way past the point of no return, time’s up!

When all the heads, are facing away
Some things are better left to fall apart
To future days, when panic reigns
Some things are better left to fall apart

There’ll be no time, at the end of the line
Some things are better left to fall apart
