A Better World

I walk decaying cities of a world upon the brink

I watch the earthly creatures, one by one, become extinct

As I run back and forth to keep a roof above my head

No hope for tomorrow, the future is dead

That empty sinking feeling

Deep in the soul

No, a better kind of world is not possible

It cannot be done, beyond my control

No, a better kind of world is not possible

I keep myself distracted by staring at a screen

My mind always racing, no longer I dream

I swallow prescriptions 'cause the problem is me

My mood's far more stable, no longer do I dream of another world

I race on ahead as if I don't know

My face cracks a smile but the grin is hollow

'Cause I've got to get used to this reality

Expect nothing different from the powers that be

That empty sinking feeling

Deep in the soul

No, a better kind of world is not possible

It cannot be done, beyond my control

A better kind of world is not possible

I don't think a change is something I'll live to see

I'm far more realistic, no longer I dream

I swallow my drugs to silence a scream

I keep myself sedated, no longer do I dream of another world

Each day the same as the previous one

And each day I stay on the grind as I run

To that mass burial plot, where I'll surely be missed

No, the world I imagine could never exist

That empty sinking feeling

Deep in the soul

No, a better kind of world is not possible

It cannot be done, beyond my control

A better kind of world is not possible

I'm far too sedated to utter a scream

But no, no longer, no longer do I dream

No longer do I dream

No longer do I dream of another world
