David Bazan - When We Fell lyrics
[David Bazan - When We Fell lyrics]
With the threat of hell hanging over
My head like a halo i was made to believe in
A couple of beautiful truths
That eventually had the effect
Of completely unraveling
The powerful curse put on me by you
When you set the table
And when you chose the scale
Did you write a riddle
That you knew they would fail?
Did you make them tremble
So they would tell the tale?
Did you push us when when we fell?
If my mother cries when I tell
Her what I have discovered
Then I hope she remembers she taught
Me to follow my heart
And if you bully her like you've
Done me with fear of damnation
Well then I hope she can see
You for what you are
When you set the table
When you chose the scale
Did you write a riddle
That you knew they would fail?
Did you make them tremble
So they would tell the tale?
Did you push us when when we fell?
And what am I afraid of? Whom did I betray?
In what medieval kingdom
Does justice work this way?
You knew what would happen
And made us just the same
Then you, my lord, can take the blame
My head like a halo i was made to believe in
A couple of beautiful truths
That eventually had the effect
Of completely unraveling
The powerful curse put on me by you
When you set the table
And when you chose the scale
Did you write a riddle
That you knew they would fail?
Did you make them tremble
So they would tell the tale?
Did you push us when when we fell?
If my mother cries when I tell
Her what I have discovered
Then I hope she remembers she taught
Me to follow my heart
And if you bully her like you've
Done me with fear of damnation
Well then I hope she can see
You for what you are
When you set the table
When you chose the scale
Did you write a riddle
That you knew they would fail?
Did you make them tremble
So they would tell the tale?
Did you push us when when we fell?
And what am I afraid of? Whom did I betray?
In what medieval kingdom
Does justice work this way?
You knew what would happen
And made us just the same
Then you, my lord, can take the blame
