Fall Short (Acoustic) Lyrics

I spent all my time

Forcing all my words to rhyme with my

Plastic toolset now

Mother calm's left my

Side

And when I make mistakes

There's no mercy in your embrace

I can't breathe I am

Trembling void of your

Grace

Trembling trembling

Fists up I am trembling as I

Rise to your crown

Castaway castaway

I can't fight oh I'm castaway as I

Fall to the ground

I'm dying to be

Everything you don't see in me

All that I need

Is any love you'll cough up for me

So I'll turn my cheek to hopelessness

Hope to guess your one last wish

Forgetting all the moments in between

I fall short

I could try to speak on what

I thought that we believed in but

Those walls go up and I

I get stuck in the

Grey

Leave me breathing just enough

And leave me open just a touch to

Get your fix in and

Leave me starving for

You

The story got penned by the kids

About a plastic sword and a playground kiss

Years passed and real life hit

These old lands have been twisted

I'm dying to be

Everything you don't see in me

All that I need

Is any love you'll cough up for me

And I'll wait to see

If you've got any plans lined up for me

But every time I see the light

My chains are loose but I stay inside

Because I don't ever really want to break free

If free's without your hold on me

I fall short
