Standing on the precipice of collapse Try and be calm, relax Brain just skipped a synapse Junction up ahead is a relapse Ego drove away in a Cadillac Can't discern fantasy from fact A mean punch, reality packs Praying for a freeing heart attack Locked and shut up inside Demons, angels, and all the swine Smile, nod, everything is just fine body outlined in white chalk line Comfort stacked in mansions hollowed No escape in fictitious gods hallowed Dove too deep in waters too shallow Tried to object but the judge allowed Upon the onset of collapse the brain decides to skip a synapse Be calm, relax It's just another relapse

We All Fall Down
Standing on the precipice of collapse Try and be calm, relax Brain just skipped a synapse Junction up ahead is a relapse Ego drove away in a Cadillac Can't discern fantasy from fact A mean punch, reality packs Praying for a freeing heart attack Locked and shut up inside Demons, angels, and all the swine Smile, nod, everything is just fine body outlined in white chalk line Comfort stacked in mansions hollowed No escape in fictitious gods hallowed Dove too deep in waters too shallow Tried to object but the judge allowed Upon the onset of collapse the brain decides to skip a synapse Be calm, relax It's just another relapse
