Backwards

by Romancing the Darker Side   Apr 15, 2007


Everything is backwards
In an unperfect world
Everything is backwards
In a right-side-up way
Everything is backwards
Watch the world turn slowly
Everything is backwards
Day after day

It seems like nothing
Is real anymore
Get in line, pick a side
And fight the war

Nothing makes sense
With troubles in our lives
The soldiers march home
But without proud strides

Everything is backwards
In an unperfect world
Everything is backwards
In a right-side-up way
Everything is backwards
Watch the world turn slowly
Everything is backwards
Day after day

Nothing is normal
No one can feel
Pain is something
Thought of as surreal

But what about the fighters?
The ones who stand strong?
Innocent people
Who did nothing wrong?

Everything is backwards
In this unperfect world
Everything is backwards
In a right-side-up way
Everything is backwards
Watch the world turn slowly
Everything is backwards
Day after day
