The more I see, the less I understand

The harder I work, the poorer I feel

With your soft young skin

With no idea what you're about to step in

And in these times you remind me

Seen the gory mess, they always leave behind
Then you stop by

Talkin 'bout yer dreams

You see a world not yet ripped apart at the seams

Light turned to dark, hearts broke in two

Just one thing, before I die

I want to make one lie come true
