Crumbling
Emery

I fell in love with the world

(She gave me) everything that I deserve

(I had) all that I wanted and more, right in my hands

(Some things just never last)

She ran away with the sun

(I guess) the moon and the stars must have followed along

'Cause I'm here in the cold and the dark until she returns

(Lie because the truth really hurts)


Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight

Oh, and I'm not sure if we can survive

Oh, you left me here with nothing at all

With my back against the wall


The crooks and the priests, they all gather around

They tie up my hands, but they won't hear me out

No I'm not the one, I'm not the one to blame

(They will murder me just the same)

She hung her promises, I took the bait

She sold us out just for fortune and fame

No she's not the one, she's not the one to save

(We're the fools that fell into her game)


Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight

Oh, and I'm not sure if we can survive

Oh, you left me here with nothing at all

With my back against the wall

Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight

Oh, and I'm not sure if we can survive

Oh, you left me here with nothing at all

With my back against the wall


So is this what it takes to separate the craving from the purpose?

Measured by success and not the motives of the heart

And we are crushed beneath the weight of all the pressure that is put on our shoulders but...

We could be honest, confess our weakness

Give up our innocence for the blame

We could be saved...


Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight

Oh, and I'm not sure if we can survive

Oh, you left me here with nothing at all

With my back against the wall

Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight

Oh, and I'm not sure if we can survive

Oh, you left me here with nothing at all

With my back against the wall
