My World

Can't break these walls between us Separated by so many pieces Falling, shattered I watch you pass by Never again am I a part of that world That world that makes so many people cry 'Cause this is my world I stand away from the rest Black amongst white Watch me darken your light But in my world truth isn't made of lies 'Cause in my world it's just me by my side Force yourself to look away My soul is ugly to your faith Living under your oath while breaking a thousand promises In this world I'm segregated to the end So separated, but maybe that's just our trend But this is my world Here you don't belong 'Cause in your world I can never come along Black amongst white, watch me darken your light But my truth isn't made of lies 'Cause in my world it's just me by my side I see you all walking Walking your paths to nowhere Don't even know where you're going But it's at me that you stare So tear your dirty eyes away from me You've got nothing to look at here Keep walking your paths to nowhere Keep going, even when they've stripped you bare And this is my world Where one stands away from the rest 'Cause in my world There's no such thing as the best It's just me and myself Looking in while you look out Breaking hearts while it's our own we try to mend But in both our worlds The suffering never ends.
