Dreams of My Downfall
[Verse 1]
Drifting through moments, then all of a sudden it hits me
What if I stumble and all of my world starts to fall?
The people I love lose respect though they swore they're unwavering
Everything crumbles as I'm just here losing it all
[Verse 2]
Hearing these critics, they're cheering and saying they hate me
Taking my whole life of work and burn it to the ground
Trying to open my heart and then go and betray me
Putting the knife in my back without making a sound
[Pre-Chorus]
I could be doing fine, a perfеct life, everything is grеat
'Til you take my mind and hypnotize, show my world in flames
Nowhere to hide from what's inside, can't run, can't get away
Guess one more night, another fight, it always stays the same
[Chorus]
Won't you let me go?
I'm crumbling
I'm crumbling
[Verse 3]
Fantasizing 'bout the worst that could be, I'm not ready
Making decisions, preserving what's not even real
False prophecies keep on following, make me unsteady
Just wanna be free of this trouble, please let me go
[Pre-Chorus]
I could be doing fine, a perfect life, everything is great
'Til you take my mind, awaken all my memories, my mistakes
And you hang 'em high, won't let them die, control me with my shame
Say, "Wait 'til they can see your darkest parts and run away"
But you're never right, you're always wrong, your promise never comes
I'm still standing, I'm still breathing, haven't died, not from your gun
Haven't fallen in the slaughter, lost the people that I love
You're a liar, you're a thief, and it's time to give you up
[Chorus]
Won't you let me go?
I'm crumbling
I'm crumbling
Won't you let me go?
I'm crumbling
I'm crumbling, woah
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, woah-oh
Just let me go
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
My father
Please take this thorn
'Cause I'm bleeding
I'm tired and worn
Please listen
Don't you hear me cry?
I'm weary
I need your light
