Brave Saint Saturn

I Fell Away

Brave Saint Saturn


Did you see me falling down from Heaven 
Breaking every bone I have 
So I tried to touch the sun 
I had another fall 
You can do the math 
I was wrong is what they'll say 
I watched their smiles fade away 
I watched their black and white turn gray 
Their picture-perfect worlds decay today 
Today I fell to Earth again, again 
I guess I failed You 
I guess I cannot win 

Today, today 
I fell away 
I fell away 

Did you see me falling down from Heaven 
Trailing wings of melted wax 
Accelerate 
At nine point eight 
Accept the fact I'm going to crash 
And so-called friends have gone away 
And all advice will cease to stay today 
Today on fragile wings I tried to touch the sun 
As wax and feathers melted 
All my dreams have come undone today 

You lift my battered soul 
You mend my broken wings together 
You lift my battered soul 
You mend my broken bones together
