Things Fall Apart Lyrics

Things fell apart

At least there's a dancing craze

Like there was in the old days

Kick off your shoes

Neohedonist with nothing to lose

They say the stars used to shine

Through the whole night sky

But of course that's mistaken

All the light above comes from

Spaceships, planes and satellites

How far from me they are

But I feel as I could reach

With my arm outstretched

Like alice grasping for

The pretty potion bottle

With a neatly written note which reads

Drink me and cast them to the floor

We're all so tiny

Do we matter at all?

Worth nothing more than our weight

In rice and salt

I'm not let down

No! even the stars looked small

When we looked from so far away

Can we accurately describe the feeling

Of knowing somethings almost at an end

In twilight, that first moment that I saw you

I didn't know your name back then

To grapple with the angel or the questions

I used to think I was strong way back when

Do you think that anything is permanent?

Do we combine and look around in transients?

Do you think that anything is permanent?

We're all so tiny

Do we matter at all?

Worth nothing more than our weight

In rice and salt

I'm not let down

No! even the stars looked small

When we looked from so far away
