Falling Down – The Virginmarys

A baby’s born inheriting the guilt within
It’s stuck with me like a birthmark on my skin
Left to burn in a sun that never set
I’m left to live in this conscience of regret

Where my feet don’t touch the ground
And the only sign of love is on the wrong side of this town
The dread moves up and round
Where it’s one false move and we all fall down

So I pledge myself to the earth
Can I bring you back down to it?
This power what is it worth?
You won’t be leaving with it
I pledge myself falling down

I’m holding onto life with a rhythm that has left me blind
Whilst living in synch with the gunshots in my mind

My love begins to drown
And you can’t stand firm where there is no solid ground
The blood drips from the crown
Where it’s one false move and we all fall down

So I pledge myself to the earth
Can I bring you back down to it?
This power what is it worth?
You won’t be leaving with it
I pledge myself falling down
I’m falling down

So I pledge myself to the earth
Can I bring you back down to it?
Your power what is it worth?
You won’t be leaving with it
I pledge myself to the earth
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
