Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I just heard the world
Is breaking down into bits again
Tell me what am I to do?
And you just want me to stay here
So I'm just gonna stay here
[Verse 2]
Home
The last resort
Build a castle with an iron door
Lock the window
Pull the shades
The hazed out sun won't help anyway
[Verse 3]
If the world is crumbling down
I don't wanna be alone
No
Locked up in this place
[Verse 4]
I heard the world up, late night
Holding my breath tight
Trying to keep my head on right
There's a chill in the air
Nobody could care
How you're caught up in the fight of your life
[Verse 5]
Fear
Is holding me here
The television got me seeing unclear
Bravery, my neighbor, moved away
'Cause I don't need to be courageous today
If the world was crumbling down
I don't wanna be alone
No
Locked up in this place
[Verse 6]
I heard the world up, late night
Holding my breath tight
Trying to keep my head on right
There's a chill in the air
Nobody could care
How you're caught up in the fight of your life
[Verse 7]
I heard the world up, late night
Holding my breath tight
Trying to keep my head on right
There's a chill in the air
Nobody could care
How you're caught up in the fight of your life
[Verse 8]
And nothing's gonna save me
I'm hanging from the nearest tree
Nothing's gonna save me
I'm hanging from the nearest tree
[Verse 9]
I heard the world up, late night
Holding my breath tight
Trying to keep my head on right
There's a chill in the air
Nobody could care
How you're caught up in the fight of your life
[Verse 10]
I heard the world up, late night
Holding my breath tight
Trying to keep my head on right
There's a chill in the air
Nobody could care
How you're caught up in the fight of your life
[Verse 11]
I heard the world up, late night
Holding my breath tight
Trying to keep my head on right
There's a chill in the air
Nobody could care
How you're caught up in the fight of your life
[Verse 12]
I heard the world up, late night
Holding my breath tight
Trying to keep my head on right
There's a chill in the air
Nobody could care
How you're caught up in the fight of your life
[Verse 13]
World up, late night
World up, late night
World up, late night
World up, late night
World up, late night
World up, late night
World up, late night
World up, late night
