Fall Away By John Carter

Sitting writing scriptures
On our open bedroom door
Playing solitaire with pictures
Of the times that came before

This paradise lost was nothing
Playing solitaire and bluffing
Losing to myself is winning
Praying as I do when sinning

If ever I should fall away
Help me back again someday
Prop me up and stand me tall
As if I never fell at all

Standing on the edge
Of falling down or cracking up
Playing as a beggar
Shoving dollars in a cup

This paradise found was where
I took a gamble I could bear
The thought of losing you
But I can't see it through

If ever I should fall away
Help me back again someday
Prop me up and stand me tall
As if I never fell at all

Sitting in a corner
With my back against the wall
Fighting with the order
As my sickened world revolves

Paradise seems far from me
It wasn't somewhere I could be
I wasn't meant to live among
The good that seems to die so young

If ever I should fall away
Help me back again someday
Prop me up and stand me tall
As if I never fell at all...
