Crumbling

I fell in love with the world
She gave me everything that I deserve
I had all that I wanted and more right in my hands
But some things just never last
She ran away with the sun
I guess the moon and the stars must have followed along
Cause I’m here in the cold and the dark until she returns
We lie because the truth really hurts

Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight
And I’m not sure if we can survive
You left me here with nothing at all, with my back against the wall

The crooks and the priests, they all gather around
They tie up my hands, but they won’t hear me out
No, I’m not the one. I’m not the one to blame
But they will murrder me just the same
She hung her promises and I took the bait
She sold us out just for fortune and fame
No, she’s not the one
She’s not the one to save
We are the fools that fell into her game

Oh, the uiverse is crumbling tonight
And I’m not sure if we can survive
You left me here with nothing at all, with my back against the wall

So is this what it takes to separate the craving from the purpose?
Measured by success and not the motives of the heart
And we are crushed beneath the weight of all the pressure that is put on our shoulders
But we could be honest and confess our weakness
Give up our innocence for the blame
We could be saved

Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight
And I’m not sure if we can survive
You left me here with nothing at all, with my back against the wall
