We were not made for the world Dreamers and poets, singers of songs Try to describe what we see Before it crushes us And we hurt for everyone And we gotta shut it down Lest we become consumed by the pain Of another Not even our own The city laughs at the proud, confident of their street smarts They go so far Infinity goes further Darkness follows infinity They will fall into the abyss Vertigo will take over their mind Second guessing This is how artists are born Subdued by the world Knowing better than to touch a live wire While standing in puddles of tears

Not Made for the World
We were not made for the world Dreamers and poets, singers of songs Try to describe what we see Before it crushes us And we hurt for everyone And we gotta shut it down Lest we become consumed by the pain Of another Not even our own The city laughs at the proud, confident of their street smarts They go so far Infinity goes further Darkness follows infinity They will fall into the abyss Vertigo will take over their mind Second guessing This is how artists are born Subdued by the world Knowing better than to touch a live wire While standing in puddles of tears
