Unknown - Rise Or Fall (Shoutless) (2008) [www.RnB4U.in] Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I deceive you- innocently
I receive you- patiently
Who do you think I am?
Is Billy Boy really a man?
First impressions taunt the air
The truth within unfolds despair.

I'm weakening
As always just some more
Don't know what to do about this dead man on the floor
Leave on the mask and scream inside
I thought I heard a cry
I guess I'll play along with this game
I've got nothing left to hide

Feel my world has gone astray You should've known.
Fear the love won't go away You should've known.

I command you- to set me free
I demand you- to let me be
Freedom security lies
Who'd think I wouldn't open thine eyes

Pressure builds as I begin to tie
This thin rope around the sky
