the fall
Never even knew you But I heard your note today You talk about injustice And how we look the other way I knew full well your meaning But my world just moves too fast It's a shame about your future It's a crime about your past Was there no one who could save you From the prison of each breath Like Rapunzel in her tower Isolation equals death Was there no one who could rescue you From the prison of your pain Am I tougher or just lucky Our fate didn't end the same But my heart has run on empty Since I heard the fuckin' news We're a heartless, Godless culture We'd walk nowhere in your shoes For me it's 6:30 in the morning And my moods as black as rain I am 30 light years older But I understand your pain They'll all hate you 'Cause you left them here To struggle on their own I'm sorry you saw no choice 'Til death chilled you to the bone But my heart has run on empty Since I heard the fuckin' news We're a heartless, Godless culture We'd walk nowhere in your shoes Well the good news if there's any Is you ever lived at all But our country kills its heroes We just raise them for the fall
