There's a fire by the wayside   And it burns so bright   As the smoke rolls over us   We think that we're bathing in light   As we tend to our gardens   The world is growing wild   But we live in our tiny heads   And can't see past our own tiny minds      As we turn away from heaven's bright sun   To earth's dark star      [Chorus]   We're powerless, we're paranoid   We'll never know what we destroyed   We're arrogant, so ignorant   We're falling, falling away      So we stop by the wayside   And we think we're smart   We vote for the pretty ones   And curse when the world falls apart   And we swear we'll do better   But the sky's about to fall   So the smoke rolls in over us   And we are doing nothing at all      And we turned away from heaven's bright sun   So here we are      [Chorus]      We're breaking, we're stalling   We're drifting, we're falling   We're headstrong for so long   We're always falling away       [Chorus]      We're breaking, we're stalling   We're drifting, we're falling   We're headstrong for so long   We're always falling away
