Cruel World Away
V1- You look at the world and cannot look away
Living 100 years in a single day
Is there a place where our mistakes make sense?
Is there a kinder world than this?
B1- I’m asking for you to come down before it’s late
Your ship has taken on water — too much dead weight
I want to love you but I don’t understand your hate
I want to have faith but I don’t believe in fate
So I’m not counting on you, to pull me through
Maybe its time I save me from you
V2- Through these scraps of paper I’m gathering up my mind
The pale storm above is smiling down the time
B1- Where is the maker it’s only my thoughts and me
There is no ambulance, no school bell at three
No time to act silly and the clocks keep on ticking
We’re not the grown ups we’re supposed to be
So I’m not counting on you to pull me through
Maybe it’s time I save me from you
MID- Are you just one cruel world away?
Have you given up on your children today?
Please won’t you send this cruel world away?
Have you given up on your children today?
