This World


This world is a dark place
Casting shadows over a bright face
Stars rain like celestial tears
Illuminating earthly fears

I've been running over my mind
Contemplating how you resigned
Spending my days drinking white claws
Just to cover up these black flaws

I have watched my idols lie
I have watched your villains try
A truthful mind is an honest kind
A lying mind is deceitfully inclined

This world is a bright place
Casting light over a dark face
You've been running over your mind
Contemplating how I resigned
