We don’t hate each other; we’re just numb, naked, and nostalgic!

The world burns apart,
like paper over candle.
The only breaking point 
that this planet couldn't handle.
Something turns to nothing
and that nothing's what remains,
that nothing turns to something
and that something turns to days.
Days are made of moments.
Moments; made of you,
moments make up hours
and together we make two.
We co-create a world
and pretend we're here forever,
let's break apart the pieces
come on, let's tear it down together!
This world was made to murder us
this world was made of fire,
we were born to join a homicide
and born pre-expired.
Time didn't want us,
we pretend we're here forever,
let's break apart the pieces
come on, let's tear it down together!
Our minds are vast and lonely
instant pleasure keeps us lifted,
it's no wonder every human
has to leave this world addicted.
God loves junkies more then pastors   
We leave first, He knows us better.
lets break apart the pieces
come on, let's tear it down together!
You're simple and distracting,
I say "I love you" out of habit.
I pawned your love to get us high
And you still humanized my addict. 
I’ll leave behind my needle
And you can wear that dress forever. 
Our purpose in this world is simple;
let's tear it down,

you and I.
