[Verse 1]
I fall
Down
No control somehow
No help
Now
My favor slides
No one comes
Here
Now I'm feeding strangers
Thin air
Like cold death, like cold death, like cold death
Here in my heart

[Chorus]
I fell for so long for you all
I fell for so long for you
I fell for so long for you

[Verse 2]
Come in
I'm the ghost
Of the white faced clown
She's gone
Gone, I won't look back
She's gone
I'm old
So old
This infection of time
My skin
Age
Shows no kindness, no kindness, no kindness to me

[Chorus]
I fell for so long for you all
I fell for so long for you
I fell for so long for you
