And When You Fall Songtext
You stripped the message
You changed the frame
Washed it in white
And stole our name
Tried to slip away
Out the back door
Did you pull it off?
You can′t be sure
Cause confusion
Hide behind
Misdirection
Lies implied
Hollow out the cultural tie
Replace it with your signifiers
So keep on down your ragged mile
Cause we won't be too far behind
And when you fall
You′re gonna really want to know who
Who it really was
Who took you down
And when you fall
We'll be there waiting for you
No there's no exit
You can′t turn around
When you got it
You forgot it was never yours
You won′t know how
But when it falls down
You'll know exactly who we are
While you′re spending yourself
We're saving
While you′re playing yourself
We're planning
While you′re folding your hand
We're holding
Where you're ending yourself
We begin
While you′re sleeping on us
We′re stalking
When you jump at the gun
We stand. Still
(We're still standing)
And when you fall
You′re gonna really want to know who
Who it really was
Who took you down
And when you fall
We'll be there waiting for you
There′s no exit
You can't turn around
When you got it
You forgot it was never yours
You won′t know how
But when it falls down
You'll know exactly who we are
You changed the frame
Washed it in white
And stole our name
Tried to slip away
Out the back door
Did you pull it off?
You can′t be sure
Cause confusion
Hide behind
Misdirection
Lies implied
Hollow out the cultural tie
Replace it with your signifiers
So keep on down your ragged mile
Cause we won't be too far behind
And when you fall
You′re gonna really want to know who
Who it really was
Who took you down
And when you fall
We'll be there waiting for you
No there's no exit
You can′t turn around
When you got it
You forgot it was never yours
You won′t know how
But when it falls down
You'll know exactly who we are
While you′re spending yourself
We're saving
While you′re playing yourself
We're planning
While you′re folding your hand
We're holding
Where you're ending yourself
We begin
While you′re sleeping on us
We′re stalking
When you jump at the gun
We stand. Still
(We're still standing)
And when you fall
You′re gonna really want to know who
Who it really was
Who took you down
And when you fall
We'll be there waiting for you
There′s no exit
You can't turn around
When you got it
You forgot it was never yours
You won′t know how
But when it falls down
You'll know exactly who we are
