And So We Fall

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

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'll 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

Another gungeward plunging to avoid

And so we fall

Another hundred flung into the void

And so we fall

Another bludgeoned lunge through 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
