In the Fall

Keith Landry

Everybody’s looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die
As if they can’t control their own behavior
Or trust what they can see with their own eyes
Mindlessly believing what you tell ’em
When everything you tell ’em is a lie

Everybody’s seeking validation
For anything they ever want to be
Speaking to their version of creation
To see the only world they want to see
They’ll smile and tell you everything they’re thinking
And kill you if you dare to disagree

And I don’t think it’ll be much longer
I don’t think it’ll be much longer
I don’t think it’ll be much longer now
Believe me when I tell you
I don’t think it’ll be much longer
I don’t think it’ll be much longer
I don’t think it’ll be much longer now

You’d better get in line with what they’re saying
Or pretty soon they’ll nail you to a tree

I’ve been around enough to know there’s nothing
Creation really needs us for at all
Anyone who says it does is bluffing
And praying no one ever makes the call
Can’t you see we’re heading into winter
With very little time left in the fall

And I don’t think it’ll be much longer
I don’t think it’ll be much longer
I don’t think it’ll be much longer now
Believe me when I tell you
I don’t think it’ll be much longer
I don’t think it’ll be much longer
I don’t think it’ll be much longer now

When there’s nothing left to live for
And there’s nothing left to die for

Everybody’s looking for a savior
—Everybody’s seeking validation
To tell them how to live before they die
—For anything they ever want to be
Mindlessly believing what you tell ‘em
—They’ll smile and tell you everything they’re thinking
When everything you tell ’em is a lie
—And kill you if you dare to disagree

I’ve been around enough to know there’s nothing
—I’m living for a day when there’s no reason
Creation really needs us for at all
—To lose another night of sleep again
Can’t you see we’re heading into winter
—But I can feel the changing of the season
With very little time left in the fall
—And I can tell it’s coming to an end

When there’s nothing left to live for
And there’s nothing left to die for
