World of Shit
Demo #1
Ends and means laid out before me.
Something, something isn't right inside.
Seems a feast laid out before me.
But too much shit gets in the way.
Something, something isn't right outside.
There are days I wake up crying and
Can't make up my mind.
I don't know why. (I don't know why.)
I don't know why.
(I don't know why.)
I just know...
I feel it churning.
Something, something has my soul, I know.
I feel it burning.
Something, something stands between me
and the things that I want.
Something, something has to change.
I can't taste a thing.
Although I try. (I always try.)
I always try.
(I always try.)
Seems like nothing here is real at all.
All these smiling paper dolls.
Like biting into wax fruit.
And maybe that's why I can't taste anything.
Nothing wrong with me at all.
Can't tempt me with a plastic apple.
I'll never fucking fall.
I see it shatter.
Nothing, nothing in this world of shit
could ever matter.
Nothing, nothing that I see
is what I want because there's
nothing, nothing here at all.
screaming in my sleep.
I must be dying.
Don't want to die so far from home.
