Verse 1
This is agony
What’s inside of me
Screaming let me out.
I try to stifle it.
It’s my rival, it
Pulls me into doubt.

CHORUS
Every time
We stumble and we fall
We’ll rise above, but we fall again.
We rise, then we fall again.
This is why
We rely on other people.
And they’ll lift us up, but tear us down.
They lift us up, then tear us down.
So we say we don’t  know
How to do this on our own.
But we’ll fake it ‘till we make it all.
We fake it, hope we make it all.
This is the rise and fall.
This is the rise and fall.

VERSE 2
This is deficiency
Burrowing into me
Ambitions make me weak.
Struggling to make it through.
I’ve gotten too far not to.
Just when in hell will I peak?

CHORUS
Cuz every time
We stumble and we fall
We’ll rise above, but we fall again.
We rise, then we fall again.
This is why
We rely on other people.
And they’ll lift us up, but tear us down.
They lift us up, then tear us down.
So we say we don’t know
How to do this on our own.
But we’ll fake it ‘till we make it all.
We fake it, hope we make it all.
This is the rise and fall.
This is the rise
and
Fall.
