Fallout

It’s coming back around now

I always knew it would end like this

Drowning in the fallout

Just like you said

And maybe it’s a cop out

Saying that I never really cared

The truth is I know now

It’s what I’ve earned

I could say I’m sorry

But that won’t erase

Every mess that I have made

Thinking back I wish that I could save

The innocence that I was quick to hate

I won’t even fight it

I’m well-aware of every time I failed

I feel it in the daylight and every dream

I don’t want a cop out

I’ll do what it takes so I can sleep

Wake up in the morning

And feel set free

I could say I’m sorry

But that won’t erase

Every mess that I have made

Thinking back I wish that I could save

The innocence that I was quick to hate

I’m ready for the fallout

They say what goes up must come down

So down I will go now into the ground

And maybe in the deep dirt

I’ll find in the dark a brand new sound

Wake up in the morning

And be set free
