I've heard the crackling by the door
Heard them slowly burning
All their dreams and all that matters
In my short time I've seen the fall
Freedom goodness in them all
Painful to the heart

So I won't try pretending
I see your world descending
Remember hope, remember pride

You're paranoid
You've lost your mind
Reality is long behind
You only see what don't exist at all
Find a plan and all you've found
You say the world has let you down
But you won't stop
But I can hear you calling
You're falling, ohh

If you could see inside my mind
You would surely draw the line
Maybe then you'd understand
It's been tested, it's been tried
You've been hopelessly denied
What will it take to make you see?

So there's no use pretending
I see your world descending
But you got hope and you got pride

You're paranoid
You've lost your mind
Reality is long behind
You only see what don't exist at all
You find a plan and all you've found
You say the world has let you down
But you won't stop
But I can hear you calling
You're falling

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You're paranoid
You've lost your mind
Reality is long behind
You only see what don't exist at all
You find a plan and all you've found
You say the world has let you down
But you won't stop
But I can hear you calling

You're paranoid
You've lost your mind
Reality is long behind
You only see what don't exist at all
You find a plan and all you've found
You say the world has let you down
But you won't stop
But I can hear you calling
You're falling

Oh, oh

I've heard the crackling by the door
Heard them slowly burning
All their dreams and all that matters
