about

One wonderful Fall recounts the feeling of 2020 where we endured a series of falls, failures, and losses.

lyrics

## Verse

what do you believe in stand for fall for

put a hacksaw to the lock for

scream fight the power at the top of your lungs

'til your lock jawed for send your first born son off to start war for

what you thought you knew about you and us

and who you choose to trust is wrong

and your life isn't even worth a leg and an arm

much less a spec of dust

and hatred ain't dead or even gathering rust

it's gathering an army calmly in private

studying, muttering, covered in violence

crafting the action that shatters the silence

to blast mishaps into fiery defiance

standing on the shoulders of a giant

and still can't see peace on the horizon

deaf ears can't hear calls for alliance

but roars from the jaws of a lion

## Chorus

when the world you stood tall for ends up sideways

the ideas you ride for ain't no highway

and every think piece seems to bring on migraines

and nothing looks clearer to you in truth

I had one wonderful fall

Too out of my mind

one wonderful fall

Too out of my mind

one wonderful fall

Too out of my mind

one wonderful fall

for you

## Verse

what will you lean on when the pillars of society topple the kings throne

pitchforks itch for an answer til the blue blood from the rich pours

through the carpet of the king’s court

the cry from the queens voice sings forth

and everybody's looking for an answer

the same everybody that ignored the diagnosis of the cancer

no less than hopeless romantics

who perpetrate the same underhanded standard

they call their ability to vanish an advantage

but the flood of information's like the Atlantic

all the eyes are watching so you can't panic

as you sink to the brink like the titanic

harlequins are forced to wipe the face off

and stay in submission to the case law

people are the weapons in the race war

cause white privilege always trumps the race card

## Chorus X2

when the world you stood tall for ends up sideways

the ideas you ride for ain't no highway

and every think piece seems to bring on migraines

and nothing looks clearer to you in truth

I had one wonderful fall

Too out of my mind

one wonderful fall

Too out of my mind

one wonderful fall

Too out of my mind

one wonderful fall

for you
