Forever Fall

Welcome to my little shop
Of horrors for one
Where all the cats and dolls hang off stage
In their malignant flair
But people seem to come and go
They don't stay in their chairs
So I put soldiers in the doorways
Now applause is in the air

But laughter fades and cries go stale
Here they are the royals, to enjoy the show
If critics strike hard on you
I'll burn down their homes
For the good words they wrote

Oh lord, as every witness starts to shed a tear
It feels good to watch you fall
It feels good that it's just you, my dear
Oh lord, with everyone in here
The stage is set for you darling, ah
For you my dear

Counting every face I see, 'till yours disappears
But there'll be doppelgangers, like wedding crashers
Clawing at my mind
But with these toys, that I cherish and adore
I can dance with those new friends of mine
Drawing blood that's most divine
Until it falls down, down, down

Oh lord, as every witness starts to shed a tear
It feels good to watch you fall
It feels good that it's just you, my dear
Oh lord, with everyone in here
The stage is set for you darling, ah
For you my dear, yeah

So breathe this moment, before we turn to dust
And ask if it was worth the price it cost
To see you now dancing in fragile, fantasies of mine
Was it worth the life?
The life that you had lost
Was it all for naught?
Was it not enough?
Is it ever enough?
To claim it all

So, come with me and you'll be free from this, you said
My mind can't turn if yours is able
Come with me and you'll be free from this, you said
Put me down, and you will fall

Oh lord, for the fool who was abused by you
Oh lord, and those who suffer because of you
Oh lord, take a good look now
The stage is set for you, darling, ah

Oh lord, as every witness starts to shed a tear
It feels good to watch you fall
It feels good that it's just you, my dear
Oh lord, with everyone in here
We'll hold our hearts and sing our parts, ah
For you my dear
For you my dear
