Rise And Fall Lyrics - Good Riddance

Another victim of the rise and fall 

Standing naked in the pastures where we graze 

Sterile in a darkened pall 

Picking pockets of the strangers all the way 

Signed off with a cynical sound 

Like a chime in a bell so far away 

There's a light in the scyllia there 

Just where our tarnished virtue lay 

I tore a page from every tome upon the wall 

Researched a photograph to find my place to fall 

So many celebrated victories of pride 

I watch the tide erase the lies down from inside 

The lies down from inside 

If i gaze long enough into the tortured sky 

Parading arrogance in terms we can't deny 

Or is it all in my mind 

Mistakes arising implicitly 

In light of factions to desperate to fold 

And the blind lead the blind [2x] 

The lights have all gone out [2x]
