[Verse 1]
One by one
I watch them crumble
Every last conviction
Degenerated into the air
The sickness that plagues the valley
Has begun infecting
Spreading its way up to the peak
[Pre-Chorus]
Now it's coming
For what's left of me
Yeah, it's coming
For what's left of me
[Chorus]
The pieces keep on falling away
Disappearing as I disintegrate
Can someone wake me from this dream?
The pieces keep on falling away, away, away
As I disintegrate

For laying on the blade
Has me withering
I fall to pieces every day
[Post-Chorus]
It's coming
For the rest of us
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

The pieces keep on falling away
Disappearing as I disintegrate
Can someone wake me from this dream?
The pieces keep on falling away, away, away
As I disintegrate
[Bridge]
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
The same fate for all of us
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
The same fate for all of us
[Chorus]
The pieces keep on falling away
Disappearing as I disintegrate
Can someone wake me from this dream?
The pieces keep on falling away, away, away
As I disintegrate
