Lyrics

Who’s world is this?
This world is mine
Middle of the night
Wake up with a smile
Don't know it’s midnight
Don’t know I’m young
Don’t know I’m Smart Now
Soon to be dumb

Don’t see the issue
Playing with sticks
Soon comes the fire
Then comes the risk
Then comes
The burning precipice abyss
As my skin loses hair
And my brain grows thick

Crawl out of bed now
Switch lights on
Suddenly the beauty of the moonlight’s gone
Open up the doors as I walk outside
Kicking all the critters and the crickets to the side
Who’s world is this?
This world is mine
Maybe I should make it into my design
Open up the blinds, fix up the drapes
Manipulating sunlight into my shapes

Afternoon
Energy’s here
Self-aware, unaware
Lost without fear
Hardware Software
Warfare, Hate
Preying on myself now
No escape

Who’s world is this
This world is mine
Forget about the dolphins
Forget about the lions
Forget about the trees
And forget about our crimes
Forget about a couple
Billion years of time

Forget about the multiverse
Forget about it all
Forget about the wild while
We stand tall

Forget about the future
Forget about the past
Just carry on consuming
And thinking it’ll last

Now for my evening
What can I say?
My head’s still spinning
From the fruits of the day
Instead of simply living
In the groove of the grain
I’m inhibiting the rhythm
Of the purest way

One by one
Enemies hang
From the bottom of the sea
To the ends of the land
Who’s world is this?
This world is mine
So everything around me
Should bend to my plan.

Darkness falls, nighttime’s here
Tensions brewing in my atmosphere
Much too hot, far too cold
Sweat poles flowing into overload
First I can’t hear
Then I can’t see
Then I can’t think
Then I can’t be

Who’s world is this?
This world was mine
But at the end of the day
This world broke free.
