A.c.t. - Everything's Falling lyrics

The cage was too small. The creature was in pain. He tries to turn around to change position, but it just wasn't possible. He didn't remember much of yesterday. He had been beaten, then he had woken up in this cage, probably as a punishment. But a punishment for what? He didn't understand. What had he done? At a distance, he could see Louis coming towards him. Louis sat down close to the cage. "What have they done to you?" Louis whispered while patting the creature on the head. The creature made a deep sound and shook his head. Louis nodded. "There's nothing to understand, he's an idiot, a very bad person", Louis said and looked at the other cages. "Just look at my animals." Louis sighed. "We need to get you out of here." The creature made another sound, and Louis replied: "I know, this whole place is broken, it is falling apart, it's falling to pieces." A tent that's filled with holes Raised by broken homesick souls On a field that is somewhere far away from here A constant drunken clown A freak that has been beaten down What they share, a pent-up anger deep inside All alone in the dark they weep They turn around in their worried sleep They're pa**engers on a sinking ship It's the end of a lifelong trip (They all know) It will crack! It will fall! It will not hold! Animals are chained Some of them are sick and drained In a cage a lion licks his new whip wounds The leader will demand Even though you are injured, stand! That is how they bring in money for the show All alone in the dark they weep They turn around in their worried sleep They're pa**engers on a sinking ship It's the end of a lifelong trip (They all know) It will crack! It will fall! It will not hold! Everything's falling, falling to pieces They try to hold out Try to hold out, but they're broken Everything's falling, falling to pieces They try to hold out Try to hold out, but they're broken Moving on from town to town They're building up, they're tearing down A shifting landscape, but the pain's the same All alone in the dark they weep They turn around in their worried sleep They're pa**engers on a ship It's the end of a lifelong trip (They all know) It will crack! It will fall! It will not hold! Everything's falling, falling to pieces They try to hold out Try to hold out, but they're broken Everything's falling, falling to pieces They try to hold out Try to hold out, but they're broken (Nobody hears them and nobody sees them Try to hold out 'cause it's all that they know)
