A Cold World

We’re staring into a cold world – it’s eyes
Looking back at us through this disguise
We’re running away from the fear – inside
Killing the hopeless so we can feed our pride

Mind open, tongue tied / what will it take to stop this reprise

we’re burning the hatred so deep – into
the very ones we promised the solace to
to tell them it will be all right today
before the bullet takes them away

mind open, tongue tied / what will it take to stop this reprise
heart closes, the light dies / what will it take to end our demise

burning the hatred / breaking the promise
why don’t you tell them / the bullet’s waiting

stop all your lies / we don’t need a reprise
or look into a cold world’s eyes / right before it dies
