Gary Numan The Fall Lyrics

Put your hate in a box
See how it bleeds for you
I've watched you
Take your life and tear it apart

Put your pain in a box
I'll send it back to you
What have you become?
A shadow of a man

Do you fall like rain on the crying?
Cold and alone like the bitter and dying
Do you fall like dust on a ruin?
Empty and dead like the life you are losing

Put your lies in a box
How have they worked for you?
Did they win you back
The things that you lost?

Put your shame in a box
How could you be so wrong?
You sit there broken
And the world moves on

Do you fall like rain on the crying?
Cold and alone like the bitter and dying
Do you fall like dust on a ruin?
Empty and dead like the life you are losing

How does it feel?
I'll spare a little thought for "The Crow"
How does it feel?
Living in the black of your soul
How does it feel?
Like a beggar out caught in the cold
How does it feel?
With nothing but the truth left untold

Do you fall like tears on an ocean?
Drowning in rage like a poisoned emotion
Do you fall like a fading desire?
Lost and unloved a forgotten "messiah"

Do you fall like rain on the crying?
Cold and alone like the bitter and dying
Do you fall like dust on a ruin?
Empty and dead like the life you are losing
