Fallen Down Lyrics - Assemblage 23

I've seen this face before 

It somehow looks familiar 

Tattered and weatherworn 

A sad, pathetic creature 

And once you stood so strong 

Your eyes alight with promise 

You vowed to carry on 

A heart once beat in your chest 

Cut forward to another day 

Another time, another place 

You're not who you used to be 

And I wonder why 

I knew you once 

When you were young 

Before you knew 

What you'd become 

But that was then 

And this is now 

You've lost your way 

You've fallen down 

You can't just walk away 

You can't choose to ignore me 

I stand in front of you 

A stranger stands before me 

What happened to the boy 

Head filled with aspirations 

His dreams within his reach 

His life a celebration? 

Cut forward to another day 

Another time, another place 

You're not who you used to be 

And I wonder why 

I knew you once 

When you were young 

Before you knew 

What you'd become 

But that was then 

And this is now 

You've lost your way 

You've fallen down 

And now there's nothing left 

Your face a pale reflection 

With only emptiness 

You've lost your life's direction 

What happened to the man 

Who couldn't be defeated 

Who always stood his ground 

When lesser men retreated? 

Cut forward to another day 

Another time, another place 

You're not who you used to be 

And I wonder why 

I knew you once 

When you were young 

Before you knew 

What you'd become 

But that was then 

And this is now 

You've lost your way 

You've fallen down
