Fallout

(album: Songs From A Sketchbook, Pt. 1 - 2016)

It's coming back around now
I always knew it would end like this
Drowning in the fallout
Just like you said

And maybe it's a cop out
Saying that I never really cared
The truth is I know now
It's what I've earned

I could say I'm sorry
But that won't erase
Every mess that I have made
Thinking back I wish that I could save
The innocence that I was quick to hate

I won't even fight it
I'm well-aware of every time I failed
I feel it in the daylight and every dream

I don't want a cop out
I'll do what it takes so I can sleep
Wake up in the morning
And feel set free

I could say I'm sorry
But that won't erase
Every mess that I have made
Thinking back I wish that I could save
The innocence that I was quick to hate

I'm ready for the fallout
They say what goes up must come down
So down I will go now into the ground

And maybe in the deep dirt
I'll find in the dark a brand new sound
Wake up in the morning
And be set free

I could say I'm sorry
But that won't erase
Every mess that I have made
Thinking back I wish that I could save
The innocence that I was quick to hate
