Collapse

Robert James

2025 RPM Challenge idea number 15 becomes finished song number one.

As I was working on this I had dreams of it being good enough to consider this year’s RPM Challenge album’s single. Now that it’s done? Probably not.

Rhythm guitars are a Takamine F-400 S 12-string into a Shure SM57. Leads are a Gibson Les Paul Custom into a Wampler Tumnus into a TC Electronic Combo Deluxe amp sim pedal.

Chorus
As it all starts to collapse
all come undone
Falling through the cracks
can’t be outrun

As we stare into the void
witness it all
Our world is destroyed
into the wall

Verse 1
Got what you asked for
Did what they told you
You opened this door
You let them come through

Verse 2
What were you saying
What were you thinking
You kneel there praying
As he’s rampaging

Bridge
His little play things
His little children

Outro
You are the ones who brought us down
You are the ones who brought us down
