Cascade
Disembodied Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I'll burn down
With this cross that stand before me
Stare at these words until they make some sense to me
I don't know why i even try
Give in and accept it
I don't know why i even care
Give in and they'll bleed me dry
I'll burn down this false pretense
These lies
Those words that drive me
That kill me
Give in and accept it
But i can't
Not now
Ever I dont know why I even care
I don't know why
I dont just low with the tide
The rise and fall
Well i'll fall trickling down the cascade
I'll fall
