And I Fall

And I Fall

I’m the common denominator
Spooled up like a thread
A replay of this moment
Where I find myself again
For each new beginning
Relentlessly I’ll make
Each and every choice
Another risk I shouldn’t take


I’ll say it’s only sometimes
I’ll say it yet again
I’ll say it over and over
The same right now as then
I’ll say it’s only sometimes
For a second I’ll believe
I’ll say it over and over
Just one last reprieve
 

And I fall
I’ll turn out the light
Because the darkest shadows
Are hidden in the night
And I fall
Until the morning light
Beause the darkest shadows
Will hide again tonight
 

If hindsight were watching
Could it turn and look back
And see making circles
Deep inside these tracks
If there was a warning
I’d still throw the dice
And race without a care
Go running, running on black ice
 
I’ll say it’s only sometimes
I’ll say it by design
I’ll say it over and over
And wait to draw the line
I’ll say it’s only sometimes
For a second I’ll believe
I’ll say it over and over
Just one last reprieve
 
 
I hear the sound that’s coming
Beating like a drum
Resonates from every place
It’s the noise I can’t outrun
Dare I ask the question
Does anyone suspect
When did I become
Both the cause and the effect
 
I’ll say it’s only sometimes
Ignore what lies ahead
I’ll say it over and over
Before I cut the thread
I’ll say it’s only sometimes
For a second I’ll believe
I’ll say it over and over
Just one last reprieve
