The Fall - Gary Numan

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
