Emery - Crumbling Lyrics






I fell in love with the world
(She gave me) everything that I deserve
(I had) all that I wanted and more, right in my hands
(Some things just never last)
She ran away with the sun
(I guess) the moon and the stars must have followed along
'Cause I'm here in the cold and the dark until she returns
(Lie because the truth really hurts)

Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight
Oh, and I'm not sure if we can survive
Oh, you left me here with nothing at all
With my back against the wall

The crooks and the priests, they all gather around
They tie up my hands, but they won't hear me out
No I’m not the one, I’m not the one to blame
(They will murder me just the same)
She hung her promises, I took the bait
She sold us out just for fortune and fame
No she’s not the one, she’s not the one to save
(We’re the fools that fell into her game)

Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight
Oh, and I’m not sure if we can survive
Oh, you left me here with nothing at all
With my back against the wall
Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight
Oh, and I’m not sure if we can survive
Oh, you left me here with nothing at all
With my back against the wall

So is this what it takes to separate the craving from the purpose?
Measured by success and not the motives of the heart
And we are crushed beneath the weight of all
the pressure that is put on our shoulders but
We could be honest, confess our weakness
Give up our innocence for the blame
We could be saved…

Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight
Oh, and I’m not sure if we can survive
Oh, you left me here with nothing at all
With my back against the wall
Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight
Oh, and I’m not sure if we can survive
Oh, you left me here with nothing at all
With my back against the wall

Emery Crumbling Comments
  1. K.... M....

    Great song

  2. J.... P....

    Why this song wasn't on the original album instead of Fix Me I'll never understand. That small change makes WDWWW a much better album.

  3. R.... L....

    This band is incomplete without Devin. This album was really good, but I'm glad he's back.

  4. E.... G....

    I love this song.

  5. J.... J....

    I'm a diehard emery fan, and i love the harmony that Devin brought to the band, but i just can't listen to his solo stuff, no offense to him but it is just bland :S

  6. D.... ....

    awesome song!! I gotta see if i can download this on itunes?

  7. D.... ....

    is that sean william scott? lol XD

  8. T.... ....

    Devin is on a hatius meaning a vacation from it for a year or so....

  9. N.... C....

    OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG will this band ever not be incredible?!

  10. J.... B....

    is devin back in??

  11. c.... ....

    People! Have you not heard that Devin was replaced with a guy that's just as good? Cuz that's what's up. We'll all miss Devin, but stop talking about the band not being good without him!

  12. c.... ....

    @MagaLlon2625 Devin leads everything but the parts they split (like good ol' Emery) and the harmonies, which sound like all Toby. I think that's the reason it didn't make it on the normal version.

  13. A.... V....

    this is the best song on the album. i love it :)

  14. J.... S....

    @drummerdood11 Me too. I loved how their voices blended so perfectly. It makes me sad and nostalgic even thinking about it.

  15. u.... ....

    this is my new favorite song of Emery
    is just so emotional
    and i really love the
    Devin's and Toby's harmonies
    i really missed that...
    i personally love the second verse it reminds me of
    a sin to hold on to chorus! this song is just perfect
    and i just cant get enough <3!!!
    and i really hope this wont be the last of devin's

  16. L.... F....

    @CzarYourselfBrett what do you mean by glad he doesnt want to tour anymore???

  17. L.... F....

    This is hands down my favorite song from the album... (we miss you devin u_u)

  18. r.... ....

    @thedanperezvids Ha, I was wondering if anyone would catch that...

    This is why you don't edit videos at three in the morning.

  19. d.... p....

    But they won't hear me "out"

    NOT they won't hear me "ow"
    ...that's just funny.

  20. M.... J....

    @CzarYourselfBrett I wish it was only because he didn't want to tour. This album would be so much better if he would have recorded with it. Instead Toby is left with it and now it's just a bunch of screaming and no vocal range. The Question is still the best album. Oh, AND they are releasing an acoustic album later this year. If Devon isn't in it... I'm not buying it.

  21. C.... ....

    Devin is my favourite singer i'm glad he just doesn't want to tour anymore

  22. B.... ....

    Nice, with Lyrics and all. Thanks a lot redpolska.

    And what a Beautiful song, i get why they put this up as a bonus track.
    It's unlike anything they've ever written yet.
    I love it.
