[Verse 1]
Teeth on the concrete
Blood in my mouth again
I keep on tripping on the same old cracks
Same old blame
I couldn’t be further from grace
Face first in everything I break
You just stare like I’m the proof
Of every choice you never made
[Pre-Chorus]
You said you’d stand behind me
You turned your back
I saw
Every bruise became a sermon
Every scar another law
[Chorus]
So fall now
Fall right on your face
Feel the ground that I embraced
Any time you fell
I carried you through it all
But I won’t catch you
I won’t catch you when you fall
Fall now
Taste your own resolve
Let your perfect heaven dissolve
Any time you fell
I carried you through it all
But I won’t catch you
I won’t catch you when you fall
[Verse 2]
Hands on the railing
You always watched me slip
Called it “lesson
” called it “character”
As I dangled from the edge
You prayed for my confession
I just prayed to make it through
Now your halo’s made of rust
And it’s cutting into you
[Pre-Chorus]
You said you’d never leave me
But you left me in that pit
I clawed my way through jagged stone
Now you’re the one who’s losing grip
[Chorus]
So fall now
Fall right on your face
Feel the ground that I embraced
Any time you fell
I carried you through it all
But I won’t catch you
I won’t catch you when you fall
Fall now
Choke on what you’ve sworn
Every lie that kept me torn
Any time you fell
I carried you through it all
But I won’t catch you
I won’t catch you when you fall
[Bridge]
I was your ladder
I was your crutch (yeah)
I bent
I bled
You never felt too much
Now your pride is slipping
Finger by finger
Hear the echo of my name
But I won’t linger (no)
[Instrumental Break]
[guitar solo: dissonant bends into rapid-fire runs
Climbing to a searing
Melodic high note before dropping into a palm-muted breakdown]
[Chorus]
So fall now
Fall right on your face
Feel the ground that I embraced
Any time you fell
I carried you through it all
But I won’t catch you
I won’t catch you when you fall
Fall now
This is where we end
You lose a savior
Not a friend
Any time you fell
I carried you through it all
But I won’t catch you
I won’t catch you when you fall (when you fall)
