AND SO WE FALL – The Stupendium 

AND SO WE FALL LYRICS

Lights. Camera. Action.
Another day in traction.
Of being bashed and whacked
To rack up youtuber reactions
Apparently it’s the fashion
To be lacking in compassion
Require a guy to balance
And then fire at him with cannons
We will smile through the pain
Then climb up and start again
Living someone else’s game
As we tumble to the ground
Planting faces in the pavement
For a stranger’s entertainment
No one said when chasing fame
That the direction would be down

And so we fall
All we’ve ever known is being on TV
And so we fall
Our only home is neon PVC
And so we fall
Ever downward chasing crowns we’ll never see
And so we fall until the day we choose to rise

Scrambling to the mantle
Straddling stacks of tangled ragdolls
Forging forwards on the trampled
Backs of comrades round our ankles
It’s a constant uphill battle
Against logs and giant apples
For some unknown cable channel
We just pray the show gets cancelled

Face-first at the door you’ve chosen
Hoping it’s the one that opens
We’ve no noses to be broken
But our spirits feel the sting
One more baton to the face
At the back end of the race
Never ending fall from grace
Second place don’t mean a thing

And so we fall
All we’ve ever known is being on TV
And so we fall
Our only home is neon PVC
And so we fall
Ever downward chasing crowns we’ll never see
And so we fall until the day we choose to rise

We’d start a union, fight these vertical atrocities
It’s hard to organise at terminal velocity
We won’t stand for being herded for your novelty
Stranded in a technicolour rubber purgatory

And so we fall
Another gungeward plunging to avoid
And so we fall
Another hundred flung into the void
And so we fall
Another bludgeoned lunge though spongey dungeon toys
And so we fall until the day we choose to rise

All we’ve ever known is being on TV
And so we fall
Our only home is neon PVC
And so we fall
Ever downward chasing crowns we’ll never see
And so we fall until the day we choose to rise
