There's a fire by the wayside
And it burns so bright
As the smoke rolls in over us
We think that we're bathing in light
As we tend to our gardens
The world is growing wild
But we live in our tiny heads
And can't see past our own tiny minds
As we turn away from heaven's bright sun
To earth's dark star
We're powerless, we're paranoid
We'll never know what we destroyed
We're arrogant, so ignorant
We're falling, falling away
[Guitar Solo]
So we stop by the wayside
And we think we're smart
And we vote for the pretty ones
And curse when the world falls apart
And we swear we'll do better
But the sky's about to fall
So the smoke rolls in over us
And we are doing nothing at all
And we turned away from heaven's bright sun
So here we are
We're powerless, we're paranoid
We'll never know what we destroyed
We're arrogant, so ignorant
We're falling, falling away
[Guitar Solo]
[Guitar/Keyboard Solo]
We're breaking, we're stalling
We're drifting, we're falling
We're headstrong for so long
We're always falling away
We're powerless (we're breaking), we're paranoid (we're stalling)
We'll never know (we're drifting) what we destroyed (we're falling)
We're arrogant (we're headstrong), so ignorant (for so long)
We're falling (we're always), falling away
We're breaking, we're stalling
We're drifting, we're falling
We're headstrong for so long
We're always falling away
