We Fall Behind


Stuck on the outside Looking through the window The world moving too fast And you fall behind There is no choice No chance to choose The earth moves on without you And you're left behind in the rubble The doors are all locked The shadows catching up The keys are broken The lock doesn't turn You scream into the silence But no one hears The air frozen all around you And inside the window The land keeps rushing on
