What World

A light that only you will die for A chain that only you can leave And shoot the rust into the face of A runaway sky of sins What world have I been born? With tired eyes I watch it all implode And I'm tapping out Before my lungs explode Because I don't wanna be like them A stage that only we can stand on A show that always carries on You shout a script into the face of A breakaway crowd starts to sing What world have I been born? With tired eyes I watch it all implode And I'm tapping out Before my lungs explode Because I don't wanna be like them The cramping of ageing Inside a safe that's breaking Entitled to slip through Into a room that suits you But comfort distracts you And makes you miss the road to A life that will lift the shame Wait, wait, wait I need to find a way out Stay, stay, stay I wanna hold your hand now And we'll pray, pray, pray Even though we know there's no god Too late, late, late They're ripping our display down And I don't wanna be like them What world have I been born? With tired eyes I watch it all implode And I'm tapping out Before my lungs explode Because I don't wanna be like them
