Tumble Down

<p>Your face is haunted, haunted by a shadow<br/>Of the ghost of one I knew<br/>You sent a picture from those days in London<br/>I&#x27;m looking at it, but I&#x27;m seeing through<br/><br/>I get the feeling<br/>You&#x27;re just scattering your ashes<br/>Across the cobblestones<br/>And rivers of despair<br/>I see you running<br/>To and from your absolution<br/>Say a perfect prayer<br/>Tumble down the stairs<br/><br/>Your words are fragile, fragile as a memory<br/>I read one line and I could tell<br/>You&#x27;re running out of places left to run to<br/>You&#x27;re running out of any hope to run as well<br/>I see you flicker<br/>In the light of dying candles<br/>That line thе catacomb<br/>Cathedrals in the square<br/>You&#x27;vе done the penance<br/>But you feel no absolution<br/>Say a perfect prayer<br/>Tumble down the stairs<br/><br/>I often wonder if you can see<br/>That one day you will find the furthest wall<br/>Have to turn and face it all<br/>Running from the bitterness of soul<br/>You couldn&#x27;t get too far, you know<br/>You take it where you go<br/>A burden born alone<br/>Breaks you every time you fall<br/><br/>Retrace your footsteps<br/>&#x27;Cause you know you&#x27;re missing something<br/>Must have misplaced it<br/>Or forgotten it somewhere<br/>You play this game<br/>Of hide and seek with absolution<br/>Say a perfect prayer<br/>Tumble down the stairs<br/>I get the feeling<br/>You&#x27;re just scattering your ashes<br/>Across the cobblestones<br/>And rivers of despair<br/>I see you running<br/>To and from your absolution<br/>Say a perfect prayer<br/>Tumble down the stairs...
