People of our world you’ll see you’re headed towards hypocrisy
Buy it, chew it, spit it out, and claim it’s an emergency.
Blame it on the ones you love and bleed it till their bones are numb
Killing off and saving never, crows and craft will be forever
Stupid hands are full of lies and real people never cry,
So cry with me and play pretend that you and me have hope again
I’m hoping for a win this time cause one and one and two is four
I’m probably wrong, I never thought, they told me not to count
Overthrown by everything you thought you owned
(The broken poor, The endless plastic machines,)
And it’s hard to keep up living here when there’s something creeping up
(They’re wanting more, We keep buying them out)
I never saw it in the distance, but the way you walked away
(So when I scream, and there’s only the world, its thoughts, and me)
It was like shock therapy to my heart, and for this I’m so damn sorry I forgot to say
(Then I’ll believe, but I’m sorry I forgot to say)
But until I find
If it works, the world is burning down today
The world is burning down today.
So fucking stop and don’t agree, you only add to the flame when you wanna be.
But take the chance it’s a shot in the dark,
When you’re holding the hand of your credit card.
I’ve found, your life,
Isn’t worth, their pathetic cultivation in motivation for laissez-faire.
Is it something for the better, cause nothing’s worth an open letter
Written from atop your palisade
You aren’t like me, you’re just better
Giving for a chance to sever
In the hearth of fate that’s slipped away
It all falls away
So please, see I, wanted only for the honest ones to make it in this life.
Now we must try to find it deep within ourselves
It’s lost within yourself
Overthrown, by all the things I said I’ve done and known
(The broken poor, The endless plastic machines,)
And still I find myself in here with nothing but a dream
(They’re wanting more, We keep buying them out)
It was so distant, like forever then until the day we seethe
(So when I scream, and there’s only the world, its thoughts, and me)
And what’s the worst is that it’s nothing new, it’s engrained in your stupid fucking society
(Then I’ll believe, but I’m sorry I forgot to say)
To dissuade
You repay
What you have done to all of me
More than what’s at stake
What’s at stake?
The world is burning down today
