We rise and fall Then forget it ever happened at all Over and over again We never learn That the flame will burn The pain is always exactly the same ⟢⟡⟣ We wander far Chasing shooting stars Always ending up helplessly lost We never take the time To read the warning signs No matter what may be the cost ⟢⟡⟣ We let the psychopaths Always have the last laugh Never understanding why they always win We let evil thrive At the cost of our lives Always letting it walk right in ⟢⟡⟣ When the ending comes It can't be undone The chains have already been cast The time was here But we cowered in fear Only to repeat the past
Rise and Fall
