Collapse Lyrics by Asher Jaffe

And So It Begins... - EP

2016

[Verse]
You spoke to me and the room stood still watching
As you asked if I could teach you how to dance
Everyone around us was going for the thrill and so
Your inexperienced mind took a chance

Now a foreign river's running through your bloodstream
Slowing down the gears in your brain
Turning you into a child
All my friends think you have gone insane

[Chorus]
But when the sky's lost all of its stamina
And it feels like I've been running laps
When it all kicks in
And your nerves go limp
I will catch you when you collapse

Am I to blame?
Cause I know you'll never do the same
But I'll still catch you when you collapse
When it's said and done
You know I will be the one
To catch you when you collapse

[Verse]
Now this house is filled with haze just like your lungs
Look at this mess that you have made by going numb
I can no longer look at your face
Since you swallowed the flames
But I swear that when it spills I'll clean you up

[Chorus]
But when the sky's lost all of its stamina
And it feels like I've been running laps
When it all kicks in
And your nerves go limp
I will catch you when you collapse

Am I to blame?
Cause I know you'll never do the same
But I'll still catch you when you collapse
When it's said and done
You know I will be the one
To catch you when you collapse

[Bridge]
A thank you was never returned
A lesson still has not been learned
The tables refuse to be turned
And now I suffer from third degree burns

[Chorus]
But when the sky's lost all of its stamina
And it feels like I've been running laps
When it all kicks in
And your nerves go limp
I will catch you when you collapse

Said, am I to blame?
Cause I know you'll never do the same
But I'll still catch you when you collapse
When it's said and done
You know I will be the one
To catch you when you collapse

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la (x3)
Ooh...
Will you remember everything I did
Every, everything I did
When you relapse?
