And the World Collapses

lyrics

of what society is about today,
having learned by heart the lies they told me,
believing that life was that easy.
"never look back to the ones you turned away, (ou bien left behind)
follow the role models cause they know the way,
climb the ladder, do it better this is the way,
think for yourself is your new priority".

"feeling lonely will never make you go on.
there's no friend, no unity, so be on your own.
you can search for a shelter but that's too late
cause life is definitely not what you expect".
someone is knocking on the door of my conscience,
should i open or let it closed by indifference.
i don't want to run that race
of being the 1st, this is so fake

you're telling me that i should be
someone i dont wanna be
and i will surely never agree
with someone i will never be.

i will never be, i will never be,
this is so fake.
lying all the time, staying here
alone with that pain.

so i grew up with the idea of being different
from what this world is all about, being innocent.
i realized that i have been mistaken:
humanity is on the way to self destruction.
you should wake up, make up your mind and make a change,
this is probably one of your last chances (ou bien this is probably your last chance)
before selfishness rules this world,
the clap ends, this is so fake

you're telling me that i should be
someone i dont wanna be
and i will surely never agree
with someone i will never be.
i will never be, i will never be.
there's something wrong with it, i will never see.
i will never be, i will never be.
there's something wrong with it and i will never be.
i will never be, i will never be.
there's something wrong with it, i will never see.
i will never be, i will never be.
there's something wrong with it and i will never be.
