When It All Falls - Flobots

I remember we were at the brink of civil war

It was written on billboards and metal floors

I was crying out the visions I was living for

Troubadour on the Titanic, I was still aboard

In the face of the opposite force responding

Watching crowds move like waters before tsunamis

Sides chosen, higher ground’s wide open

But me, I’m trying to twist the plot

Like it’s origami

Will you even say my name?

Will you even save my flame?

Nothing is the same anymore

Did you lose your faith in the law?

Or did your pain mean something more?

Feeding the feeling of war

It will be naked and raw

Facing what we thought we were

Replace it with what we can trust cuz it hurts

Aborting a dream should have never been birthed

What, what, what ya gonna do

What ya gonna do when it all falls down

What, what, what ya gonna do

What ya gonna do when it all falls down

All falls down

Lost that crown

What ya gonna do when it all falls…

Winter is coming

Adrenaline pumping

Glasses fogged up and the engine is running

But both sides fall when the center is done in

And one percent of a hundred will benefit from it

Now, who are you, who am I?

Brutal lies, computer eyes

Troops lined up like it’s do or die

Rumors fly

Boomerangs beget suicide

We’re suffering from mass hypnosis

I’m taking you alive

Will you even say my name?

Will you even save my flame?

Nothing is the same anymore

Did you lose your faith in the law?

Or did your pain mean something more?

Feeding the feeling of war

It will be naked and raw

Facing what we thought we were

Replace it with what we can trust cuz it hurts

Aborting a dream should have never been birthed

What, what, what ya gonna do

What ya gonna do when it all falls down

What, what, what ya gonna do

What ya gonna do when it all falls down

All falls down

Lost that crown (All falls down)

Carnage has gotten us honest

And tarnished the crosses we clutched when we fought with the godless

And that was the start of our problems

Bleed in reverse, false worship has deepened the curse

Weren’t ready for last to be first

With the panic rehearsed

Got our numbers like chapter and verse

The faithful retreat from a legion of thugs

Who scream with disease in their lungs

Raise your hands, shape

Shadows on the landscape

Moonlight battles for the soul

Holy spirits filling you

Write letters to your seventh granddaughter

All consumed by the resurrection of the blossoms bloomed

That will soon die

I remember when we saw the writing on the wall

United in denial and divided when we fall

I was in the middle, I was trying to resolve

False symmetries and broken treaties

There was an opening, there was an option

The spirits were watching, the devil was craving a fight

The prophets said there was a clearing beyond right and wrong

A conspiracy saving your life

What, what ya gonna do

What ya gonna do when it all falls down

What…
