From the recording Inside Voice
Lyrics
RISE AND FALL
So was the air too thin
when you tried that higher ground and fell to yours knees
did the brightness hurt your skin
did the sweetness turn too sour along with your dreams
told me you were clean
and we followed along
until your rise and fall
until your rise and fall
until your rise and fall
you built your house of cards
stacked the aces up on the top it came falling down
then you cry that it was too hard
and you want the world to stop as we watch you drown
you lost your crown
did we follow along
until your rise and fall
until your rise and fall
until your rise and fall
Bridge
you always thought you were the one
overshot and flew into the sun
now you got humble pie
turn your head like a child until we force it down
you’ll never ask us why
never walk the extra mile, you’d rather drown
you were right all along
until your rise and fall
until your rise and fall
until your rise and fall
