DEATH OF THE WORLD

No one’s what they’re supposed to be
It’s all out there, but we refuse to see
The reality being twisted around
The fake scenes and the weird sounds
Of a life less ordinary than we were told
Guided by all that’s glitter and gold
The heart is dead, and no one’s winning
Even the world is no longer spinning
Yesterday seems like a long time ago
The days are so fast but the minutes slow
People walking around seeming a bit lost
Destroying everything, with no cost
Deceiving themselves and everyone
Sucking out all the happiness and fun
From the life that now seems hollow
So pointless and so difficult to swallow
Sometimes it’s so hard to understand
How they can live and just pretend
That it’s all normal and real
Living with black hearts that always heal
No conscience and no reason to cry
Faceless men who live without asking why
A blind world leading to a misguided end
Shallow love and no reason for a friend
