[Verse 1]
Well, there's no more big time
No more bright lights
Just a guy who's drinking alone tonight
Should've walked back your mouth
Knocked you off your high horse
With all that worthless advice you endorse
Lost the limelight you were about
What's it like to gradually fade out?
Used to tear it all down, now you're tearing all up
Got 'em drippin' in your whiskey at the brass mug

[Pre-Chorus]
I've heard it all before
The murmurs and the whispers
I don't listen anymore

[Chorus]
Every time I rise, you fall away
It's the same story day after day
Your voice is like poison
You can't be me
Every time I rise, you fall away
Fall away!

[Verse 2]
Nothing's lost, we just don't abuse it
We're seven deep, we been caught up writing hits
Now you whine, cry, bitch, moan, say it's a waste
Sing along while I give you a taste
Yeah, here's to you and your favorite band!
Yeah, they suck, too!
I hear your cries
To the one you know you idolize!
[Pre-Chorus]
I've heard it all before
The murmurs and the whispers
I don't listen anymore

[Chorus]
Every time I rise, you fall away
It's the same story day after day
Your voice is like poison
You can't be me
Every time I rise, you fall away
Fall away!

[Bridge]
Keep tellin' those tall tales
And I'll call you out

[Guitar Solo]

I'll call you out
I'll call you out

[Chorus]
Every time I rise you fall away
All those worthless years, they're fading away!
Every time I rise you fall away
It's the same story day after day
Your voice is like poison
You can't be me
Every time I rise, you fall away
Fall away!
