Falling Back - Jon Allen

Another losing hand has been played out

Another dream has turned to dust

Trying to keep myself believing

It never really meant that much

And I’m falling back

Like a barfly to the bottle

Way down into the black

Yeah I’m falling back

And nothing can touch me

'Cause I’m already gone

I don’t have no explanation

For why the cards are so unkind

I’ve let go if every last illusion

That ever gave me peace of mind

And I’m falling back

Like a barfly to the bottle

Way down into the black

Yeah I’m falling back

And nothing can touch me

'Cause I’m already gone

I don’t have no cause

No reason to be brave

Everything I used to stand for

Is buried in a shallow grave

Oh, it’s such a waste

Oh, it’s such a shame

To see the fields of Eden

Burning down in flames

And I’m falling back

Like a barfly to the bottle

Way down into the black

Yeah I’m falling back

And nothing can touch me

'Cause I’m already gone
