And So We Fall

[Verse 1]
Lights, camera, action
Another day in traction of being bashed and whacked
To rack up YouTuber reactions
Apparently it’s the fashion to be lacking in compassion
Require a guy to balance and then fire at him with cannons
We will smile through the pain then climb up and start again
Living someone else’s game as we tumble to the ground
Planting faces in the pavement for a stranger’s entertainment
No one said when chasing fame that the direction would be down

[Chorus]
And so we fall
All wе’ve ever known is bеing on TV
And so we fall
Our only home is neon PVC
And so we fall
Ever downward, chasing crowns we’ll never see
And so we fall until the day we choose to rise

[Verse 2]
Scrambling to the mantle, straddling stacks of tangled ragdolls
Forging forwards on the trampled
Backs of comrades round our ankles
It’s a constant uphill battle against logs and giant apples
For some unknown cable channel
We just pray the show gets cancelled
Face first at the door you've chosen
Hoping it's the one that opens, we’ve no noses to be broken
But our spirits feel the sting
One more baton to the face at the back-end of the race
Never-ending fall from grace, second place don’t mean a thing

[Chorus]
We fall
All we’ve ever known is being on TV
And so we fall
Our only home is neon PVC
And so we fall
Ever downward, chasing crowns we’ll never see
And so we fall until the day we choose to rise

[Bridge]
We’ll start a union, fight these vertical atrocities
It’s hard to organise at terminal velocity
We won’t stand for being herded for your novelty
Stranded in a technicolour rubber purgatory

[Chorus]
Another gungeward plunging to avoid
And so we fall
Another hundred flung into the void
And so we fall
Another bludgeoned lunge through spongey dungeon toys
And so we fall until the day we choose to rise
All we’ve ever known is being on TV
And so we fall
Our only home is neon PVC
And so we fall
Ever downward, chasing crowns we’ll never see
And so we fall until the day we choose to rise
