This World

I hope mama knews that I hurt yesterday Just before I took myself away For a look I see, hoping that I could forget all What I see and heard on the news I can't believe I'm still in this world And the contradictions of humanity All start to swirl around in my head, my head I can't believe I'm still in this world Sitting on my bed, about to face another day Wondering, I can't believe I'm still in this world All hell is spinning around in my head It swirls, I can't believe I'm still in this world When will humanity wake up and understand That they are all so lost to themselves Distracting and floating on themselves I say, I can't believe I'm still in this world What a world, what a world, what a world What a world, what a world, what a world Leaving, leaving, leaving This is the last thing that I wanna do Before I see it straightened out, straightened out, straightened out I sit on my bed, I'm filled with such dread Just to face another day in this world Running makes my head swirl I can't believe I'm still in this world What a world, I can't believe I'm still in this world What a world, I can't believe I'm still in this world What a world, but to make a difference Is what I'm here for So, let me change myself And I feel like an elf Too short to accomplish what I need to do
