I'm afraid of the world outside

Always looking for a place to hide

Taught by the world will know

I could never find a place to go

In silence I wonder

How much more I can take

It's pulling me under

Unseeing not breathing

It's pushing me too far

Walking blindly on the tightest rope

Far beyond the point of any hope

You're surrounded by your deepest fear

Now your ending is becoming clear

Your madness is quickly tearing your life apart

Your sadness grows swiftly you're gnawing and clawing

You'll never make it out

We've created everything we hate

Sold to ourselves at bargain rates

Kill each other on a single word

Drown it out so it's never heard

Compassion reaction just never comes on time

Our lives are a fraction of worthy self action

We've thrown it all away
