[Verse 1]
Don't you come to me with all your color-coded quotes
Everybody's laughing but they never ever get my jokes
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Fool, you're a tool, a sheep
And it's obvious to everyone but company you keep

[Verse 2]
And don't you squint at me because your childhood was the pits
Every single one of us have trodden through our shit
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Oh, and I know you're shrewd
Because I smell it in your clothes and it's in everything you do

[Chorus 1]
Falling, fallen, we all fall down
It only really matters how we stand our ground
And if and when we rise to our feet again
We'll be on our own

[Verse 3]
Everything we built: it's gone! and every one around is stunned
We just sit here staring blankly and everything goes numb
Lord, if I felt a thing
I could wrap my mind around this and prevent us getting singed

[Verse 4]
And please excuse my enemies, I think they do not know
I will gladly self destruct if they leave me alone
Friend, that's the end of us
Because you're way behind in empathy and overdue on trust
[Chorus 2]
Calmly, calmly and patiently
We've seen all the evidence, but still cannot believe
And if and when we rise to our feet again
We'll be on our own

[Bridge]
Hey!

[Chorus 3]
Somehow, someway, we persevere
The questions on our lips fall on deafened ears
If and when we rise to our feet again
We'll be on our own
