fall

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
The wind howled a secret through the golden bloom
A sudden slip, a plummet, a sudden kind of doom
I didn't see the granite, didn't see the jagged peak
The kind of impact that makes a strong man weak
I didn't land on elbows, didn't land on my knees
I hit a limestone altar with a violent, sudden squeeze.

(Chorus)
And the echo screamed through the cavern walls
Oh fuck my balls
Yeah, oh fuck my balls
In the hollow of the mountain where the silence falls
Oh fuck my balls
Fuck my balls.

(Verse 2)
A flower with a face told me "Stay determined, kid"
But he didn't see the damage, didn't see what the fabric hid
A strange kind of burden, a gift from the surface air
A biological riddle, a heavy, swinging snare
The rock was an anvil, my anatomy the bell
And the ringing of that impact sent me straight to hell.

(Chorus)
And the echo screamed through the cavern walls
Oh fuck my balls
Yeah, oh fuck my balls
In the hollow of the mountain where the silence falls
Oh fuck my balls
Fuck my balls.

(Bridge)
Tori told me "Darling, you're safe and sound"
But I was seeing stars while lying on the ground
The pain is a rhythm, the pain is a song
A heavy-duty burden that’s been here all along
One wrong move in the ruins, one slip on the floor
And I’m praying to the gods that I don't hit anymore.

(Chorus)
And the echo screamed through the cavern walls
Oh fuck my balls
Yeah, oh fuck my balls
In the hollow of the mountain where the silence falls
Oh fuck my balls
Fuck my balls.

(Outro)
Gravity's a bitch when you're falling from a height
And the landing was a tragedy, a visceral kind of sight
Just a girl with a secret, landing hard on the stone
Now I'm walking through the Underground, aching and alone.
Fuck my balls.
Fuck my balls.
(Fade out)
Oh... fuck my balls.
