World of tears Was I not good enough? Did I let you down? One moment I was king of the hill And I was looking forward to every day with longing, desire I could trust the fire in my heart and no matter what the day would bring, my purpose of being was always the same and always there for me you. Now I’m a mall, no longer standing tall bent and lonely listening to a song we once shared Now I’m lonely again, alone Gone is all you gave to me And I’m left not right with nothing but a photo album and a lot of pain, a lot of anger Gone is the focus, the light I see now it blinded me to what should not be But only in your mind It was an inside job, sealed before we even started and where does it get us? Me? I can’t express my resentment of your stupidity and blindness of clinging to your mute life and forsaking reason Because I don’t want to hurt you and I don’t want you to hurt yourself I can’t tell you about your religion, that it’s oppressive, discriminative, uncompromising So what is left for you? Living in your world, forget about all this ado. Not “just” like this, but like it anyway. And for me…? Living in a world that feels like rain, a world of pain a world of tears. And that’s all that’s left of all we had? Since it’s always all been your party anyway I’ll let you make the call… Tell me now, Is there something, anything left of us, the miracle gone astray or are you really trying to chuck it all, throw it all away? I never had any control, never had any style please let me be myself At least for a little while… Pick up the pieces and start over Over and over again Till you find your road to the stars And when you finally do, pick me up, I’ll be waiting out there, somewhere looking at the Earth from a lava island on Mars.
