You Broke My Fall

The night is so much darker now
That the burning ships have sailed
And when the dawn comes crashing in
Will we see where we’ve failed
To break our fall?

Good soldier, I’ll lay down my arms
And concede we lost the war
It’ll give me an excuse to drink, now
I never needed one before
To break my fall
To break my fall
To break my fall

So the songs I write just turn out sad
Since the reaper took the reigns
The friеnds I once made music with
Are now ghosts clanging thеir chains
They clang their chains

Dragging through my past
The chains that keep them bound
And locked inside my memory
Where they never really died
These spirits keep me company, at large
They’re by my side
They’re by my side

With this impossibility
That we could all be here
The good things haven’t ended yet
I swear that I’ll keep you near
So I’ll wrap my arms around my friends
Because I love you all
And if you’re still here when my life ends
Please know that you broke my fall
You broke my fall
