VERSE I
Better pour yourself a drink
A health prop to brace this thing
Much stronger than Faith
But much weaker than hate

Maybe now you'll heed the signs
This conversation wastes oiur time
Were leaning on fate
Because we can't sustain our own weight

You say it's alright, But I
See it's tipping over

CHORUS
Save yourself
This retainer wall's collapsing on me
Get out while the getting is good
It's falling on me

VERSE II
I don't think you'll stomach this
A burning cocktail in one fist
The other hand swings free
Only striking when you think

You could always take the drive
Take the fall, but be alive
It ain't worth it to me
To see you give to disease

BRIDGE
If this were easy we'd
Fall to early to
See the ending of
This new crisis so
Count your blessings and
Just be happy that
Your life's lessons are
Harder than the choice you must now make

Everybody's got mistakes
Come back to haunt them

CHORUS
Save yourself
This retainer wall's collapsing on me
Get out while the getting is good
It's falling on me
