The World May Bring Us Down

There is no time

To waste on those who bring you down

When they probe and they shove you around

Laugh out load when your face hits the ground

The world may bring you down, but that’s ok

Cause I talk in my sleep anyway

 

There’s no need to talk I think I know your name

All the faces look the same to me

The knives are out and they’re stuck in your back again

They’re still sharp to use again and again

 

Strike a match

In the wind and it won’t stay alight

Burns so quickly but ever so bright

But I’d rather burn a short time

Than to fade and to never have shined

Like me some lights don’t burn out you’ll see

 

There’s no need to talk I think I know your name

All the faces look the same 

The knives are out and they’re stuck in your back again

They’re still sharp to use again and again

But with you by my side

Raising two fingers high

In your back again, you’re back
