Lyrics

WHO FALLS FIRST

There's a lot of boats floating in the sea
We lost the art of empathy
I got it bad, you got worse
It's a competition of who falls first

The sky is fallen around my head
Sometimes it’s safer to play dead
I got it bad, you got worse
It's a competition of who falls first

Bridge:
When you’re starting from the bottom you don't have far to fall
And I call your name sweet darlin, and get back up and brush it off
Don't know where I'm going standing at the dusty crossroads
I'd sell myself to the devil but don't think he'd like my soul

There's one percent that stole my dream
Who the hell are they to take that from me
I got it bad you'll have it worse
When karma comes knockin at your door

Bridge:
When you’re starting from bottom you don't have far to fall
And I call your name sweet darlin, and get back up and brush it off
Don't know where I'm going standing at the dusty crossroads
I'd sell myself to the devil but don't think he'd like my soul
I'd sell myself to the devil but don't think he'd like my soul

The sky is fallen around my head
This time it’s safer to play dead
I had it bad, but you got worse
I'll step aside and let you fall first
