In a world like this what's the nation to become
A world full of profanity, pain, aching hearts, criminals, liars, and drugs.
The children of those who already suffer will crawl on their knees, scream out in hope
They'll cut at their skin to feel the real that is pain, the real in the life, dream about this thing they've never felt.
The thing called love.
In a world like this you can't help but suffer
Everyday brings on a new thing to worry about, a thing to ache about, something to ponder.
They keep sawing at their flesh, threatening their own lives, they'll stare at their reflection.
They look in disgust and only wonder why
Why am I not thinner, why do I live here, why must I suffer, why did he break my heart
In a world like this you can't expect to get far
In a world like this what do you have to look forward to
You live and you yearn, you try but you never learn
You're only happy once your dead, that's when the fun begins.
There's nothing here this Earth can offer.
So keep sawing at your wrists
Keep screaming out in pain, after all that's the way you wanted it anyway.
Keep looking at the negative side of the truth.
I look at this world and what a horrible youth
Six year olds on a bus cussing the other out
Starting fights and talking too loud.
People screaming at one another and fighting over words
Tell you what I'll go get you a razor and you can saw out and mourn
I'll watch as you bleed in your high of ecstasy
Watch as you sulk in this thing you call misery
I don't see how it can be miserable if you only do it to yourself
Put the stupid razor away, put bandages on your wounds, sit up and shut up, put your pitiful soul on the shelf.
No one likes someone who complains all the time
You wanna know why your life sucks so bad
Because all you do is sit and you cry
You cry about this world that you only see in black and white
You cry about that guy that tore your world apart
You cry because there's blood seeping from your arms
But in the end you're the only one causing yourself harm.
Get over the guy whether you say you're 'in love' or not
Open your eyes and open your heart
I guarantee your black and white world will no longer be dark.
Throw away the razor. You don't need it anymore
Look at the world from a different view
Make a new start
There is life before death
There's more than you think
You have money in your pocket, friends for you here, there's a whole world out there,
You have a voice so use it, you have legs so walk, you have arms so wave for a taxi
and get out of here.
Live your life for the best it can be
Live your life because one day you'll open your eyes to see
You never saw the full potential in life
You never went to church, never discovered faith
So even after death things may not be what they seem
Live your life right
And you'll see things a lot more differently.
