Our world

Up when I should be dreaming, man I swear that things gotta change.
Oh I’m torn apart.
This little buddy on my shoulder used to not be there, I can’t recall when he got there.
I’m falling apart.

The damage inflicted by you pales in comparison to the words I hear in my own head.
The same people that used to know me inside and out, wouldn’t recognize me now.
These things happen man, just try to not feel dead.
Better yet, throw me off the bow
of the ship we sail, she’s going down into the drink.
Take a moment to think.

When the water floods in, keep your wits about you.
Smile, knowing you did well.
Although some believe differently than you do,
know they are the ones who fell.

Your self worth isn’t explained by those around you, but by who you surround yourself with.
Welcome to a world of make believe and hard realities.
A world with beauties like alps is the Swiss,
and uglies like those with poverties.

This is our world to determine. Our place to change and maintain
Can you bring yourself to bare in the beauties?
This is our world to fix. Our place to adapt and claim
Don’t get stuck focused on the uglies.
