David McEwan - Falling Down lyrics

[Verse 1] Follow me as I descend into madness With gladness, for years I've been surrounded by this badness No time to waste, it's high time I escaped Out the Forester's Gate, I'm sorry mate but these ends are in a sorry state You can't relate? Yeah, well you can f** off can't you mate Your heart is faint, can't appreciate how this artist paints My art is great, it's my mind that's in the darkest place I can't erase the memories I have of a darker days Darker days that left a bitter after-taste I'm past the stage of trying hard to mask this rage I'm letting go, calling out to God to let him know I'm falling on my own accord, please don't attempt to save my soul [Hook x4] You get up off the ground Take a look around You dust yourself off That's when they knock you back down [Verse 2] No backpack, just a tramp making tracks I'm cool like Keith, making friends with the rats Observing how they act, they ain't begging for my scraps They ain't cats, they'd rather wait until I turned my back No turning back, maybe now's the time to turn to crack I've learned the facts, way before I learnt to rap This place is a mess, the people here, they don't praise success They hate it, yes, they don't want to see you make progress That's why they test, try to knock you to the ground You pick yourself up, that's when they knock you back down The university of life, blud, that's where I got my schooling I know that they can't knock me down as long as I keep falling [Hook x4]
