This is gospel for the fallen
ones
Locked away in permanent slumber
Assembling their philosophies
From pieces of broken memories
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the
beat of my
heart [x2]
The gnashing teeth and
criminal tongues conspire
against the odds
But they haven’t seen
the best of us yet
If you love me let me go
If you love me let me go
‘Cause these words are
knives and often leave scars
The fear of falling
apart
And truth be told, I never was
yours
The fear, the fear of falling
apart
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart [x2]
This is gospel for the
vagabonds,
Ne'er-do-wells and
insufferable bastards
Confessing their
apostasies
Led away by imperfect
impostors
Oh, this is the beat of my
heart, this is the beat of my
heart [x2]
Don’t try to sleep through the end of the world
And bury me alive
'Cause I won’t give
up without a fight
If you love me let me go
If you love me let me
go
‘Cause these words are
knives and often leave scars
The fear of falling apart
And truth be told, I never was yours
The fear, the fear of falling
apart
Oh, the fear of falling
apart
Oh, the fear, the fear of
falling apart
[x4]
(Oh, this is the beat of my
heart, this is the beat of my heart)
The fear of falling apart
