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
