What If ft. Nathan Dixon Lyrics

What if I fall down?

What if I fail you?

My heart is where it hides

If you lean in close you can see it in my eyes

Did it come down from the skies?

Or was it always there inside?

'Cos I can't follow through

With anything I wanna do

Just when I'm standing tall

Yeah you know I will fall

And I'll crawl right back to you

Salvation out of my reach

I am the dog that pulls on its leash

So what if I fall down?

What if I fail you?

Does that mean that you were right?

You say that I'm aging

But I'm only raging

Against the dying of the light

I wanna erase you

Annihilate you

I wanna erase you

But I can't escape you

Eternal parasite

If I am forced to choose

From the many colors of the bruise

Custodian of my abuse

Either way I know I lose

How come you perpetrate

When I'm the one who stands accused?

Uncanny devotion

Somehow I'm still in motion

I get back up each time

But I know you await me at the finish line

Salvation out of my reach

When you keep hanging on like a leech

So what if I fall down?

What if I fail you?

Does that mean that you were right?

You say that I'm aging

But I'm only raging

Against the dying of the light

I wanna erase you

Annihilate you

I wanna erase you

But I can't escape you

Eternal parasite

Hard to overstate what I can take when walked upon

Come watch me bear the weight

Don't underestimate my appetite for suffering

Come watch me lick my plate

So who's incarcerating who now?

What if I fall down?

What if I fail you?

Does that mean that you were right?

You can call me a loser

And maybe it's true yeah

But I'm not the one who's scared of the light

What if I fall down?

What if I fail you?

Does that mean that you were right?

You say that I'm aging

But I'm only raging

Against the dying of the light

You can try to erase me

Annihilate me

(You can try to erase me

Annihilate me)

You can try to erase me

But you can't escape me

(You can't escape me)

'Cos I'm the one who gave you life
