The Falling Sky Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been handed a quite demanding
And hardly standing lie to tell
Life is sorted and never thwarted
It's just supported by being well

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I don't wanna lose this time
Oh, I just wanna let it pass

[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, holding up the falling sky
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, holding up the falling sky

[Verse 2]
Here's the trouble with seeing double
It's torn-down rubble that's left behind
You can live with a pointless forte
That silly board game that you would know

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I don't wanna lose this time
I just wanna let it pass
[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, holding up the falling sky
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, holding up the falling sky

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, holding up the falling sky
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, holding up the falling sky
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, holding up the falling sky

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

Jake Kiszka:

An unwavering warrior carrying on the endless, eternal, and impossible battle for salvation; these were the elements of symbolism associated with this particular track.

In essence our fate is sealed, alike the stars that fall from the almighty heavens to the earth. This philosophy is carried through in the story of a bluesman, at the crossroads of the universe.
