Cascade

I'll burn down 
With this cross that stands behind me 
Stare at these words until they make some sense to me 
I don't know why I even try 
Give in and accept it 
I don't know why I even care 
Give in and they'll bleed me dry 
I'll burn down with this cross that crucifies me 
Down with this cross that drives the final nail Through my hand 
I'll burn down with this cross those old convictions Once uttered but is that all they are 
A handful of lies 
A mouthful of words 
Well I'll burn them all down 
Then I'll burn down with them 
I'll burn down this false pretense 
These lies 
Those words that drive me 
That kill me 
Give in and accept it 
But I can't 
Not now 
I don't know why I even try 
Give in and accept it 
I don't know why I even care 
Give in and they'll bleed me dry 
I don't know why I even try 
I don't know why I even care 
I don't know why I don't just flow with the tide 
But I can't 
Not now 
Not ever 
The rise the fall 
Well I'll fall trickling down the cascade 
Well I'll fall
