Falls Away (feat Sarah Pellicano)

by The Stoops

/

about

‘Falls Away’ is arguably the groups most personal, melancholic and intimate release to date. A powerful, heavy beat smacks with emotion as emcees Roc Walla and Pronto wade through an uncharted ocean of similar personal family tragedies. The song takes focus on the effects made when the inevitable ‘falling of the mask’ moment occurs after battling the three A’s (addiction, anxiety and alcoholism) for so long behind closed doors.

lyrics

Lyrics:
(Chorus)
And it falls away
Behind the walls
You've worn away
Behind the past
Of masquerades
Behind the doors
I watched it all
Just fall away, saying
And it falls away
Behind the walls
You've worn away
Behind the past
Of masquerades
Behind the doors
I watched it all
Just fall away, saying

(Roc Walla)
I see the shit you bottle in
An it got you wobbling
Bucking from a feather
It's never been good to lock it in
I know it's easier to pack the easel up
I know it seem abrupt
To stop an pick the pieces up
When we erupt, but
You should have seen someone
To figure it out
Now you seeing hidden figures
That trigger the doubt
God damn
Out of sight, out of mind
But shadows in the night
Like parasites, never satisfied
Showing up at night
Like unmanned satellites
From bad parent types
That you had in your life
I get a shiver down my arm
'Coz you similar to mum
And beyond a simple simile in a song
Sometimes you see the crash
Before the tyre marks
Or you never smell the gas
Until the fire starts
We just wanna talk and talk away
Through the silent parts
And watch it fall away
Just a fallen blade
On a pile of grass

(Chorus)
And it falls away
Behind the walls
You've worn away
Behind the past
Of masquerades
Behind the doors
I watched it all
Just fall away, saying
And it falls away
Behind the walls
You've worn away
Behind the past
Of masquerades
Behind the doors
I watched it all
Just fall away, saying

(Pronto)
You were one to look up to
Bigger and strong
Through the years it disappeared
Now it's withered and gone
Been swimming in the liquor
'till the liver is numb
You've been through shit
I won't admit in a song
It's looking ominous
I do my bit
evading your doormat
Staring at my phone
and hesitating to call back
The usual format
but maybe the straw that
Was fatal for the camel
Baby, breaking it's poor back
I'm sorry
I see you needed my help
I retreated from the call
As you proceeded to yell
And If only I could see
That I could I feed it as well
All that love that you had
Seem to repel
But hell, that mask on your face
Had as cheated as well
When it finally fell
We could see how you felt
Your heart wasn't stable
It impeded your health
Put all your cards on the table
That were evilly dealt
Man it's shocking
That's some old school therapy
That cold cruel remedy
With volts you'll never be the same
I see you fight the pain
And when it made things worse
They said that we could try again
So they sold your fate
So hard to watch
That's the whole debate
But this time
I'm not gonna leave the soldier mate
So come on
Let me hold your weight

(Chorus)
And it falls away
Behind the walls
You've worn away
Behind the past
Of masquerades
Behind the doors
I watched it all
Just fall away, saying
And it falls away
Behind the walls
You've worn away
Behind the past
Of masquerades
Behind the doors
I watched it all
Just fall away, saying
