Threshold - Falling Away lyrics

There's a fire by the wayside And it burns so bright As the smoke rolls over us We think that we're bathing in light As we tend to our gardens The world is growing wild But we live in our tiny heads And can't see past our own tiny minds As we turn away from heaven's bright sun To earth's dark star We're powerless we're paranoid We'll never know what we destroyed We're arrogant so ignorant We're falling falling away So we stop by the wayside And we think we're smart We vote for the pretty ones And curse when the world falls apart And we swear we'll do better But the sky's about to fall So the smoke rolls over us And we are doing nothing at all We turned away from heaven's bright sun So here we are We're powerless we're paranoid We'll never know what we destroyed We're arrogant so ignorant We're falling falling away We're breaking we're stalling We're drifting we're falling We're headstrong for so long We're always falling away
