Demise

It’s Demo, boom, bang, explosion

Thought I had it all figured out

Built my castle, brick by brick

Now the walls are crumbling down

And I'm drowning in the thick

Used to fly above the clouds

Now I'm crawling on the ground

All my dreams were way too loud

But silence is the only sound

I'm losing grip, losing sight

Everything I thought was right

Is slipping through my hands tonight

I'm falling down, down, down

Can't find my way back now

The light has left this town

I'm falling down, down, down

Mirror shows a stranger's face

Victory turned to bitter taste

All my trophies out of place

In this cold and empty space

Maybe falling isn't failing

Maybe breaking leads to healing

Sometimes losing shows what's real and—

I'm falling down, down, down

But I'll rise up from the ground

My heart beats with a different sound

I'm falling down...

To be found

In the ashes buried beneath the ground
