My greed, my fear      Once again in a world of my own   With nothing left to do   Everything looks different now   Reality is seeping through      There are those who want to tear me down   To turn me into them   I've tried so hard but it's been so long   It's happening again      This is the world you live in   Consumed by lust and love and hate   Restrain and try not to give in   Pray that it's too late   This is the world you live in   You're eaten to the core by fear   Restrain and try not to give in   And hide behind the masks you wear      My greed my fear my tears won't come   They've dried in the sockets I've come undone      So struggle in this world of your own   Knowing there's no way to escape the truth   Everything tastes bitter now   Nothing is fresh and nothing is new   There are those who want to make you theirs   To make you one of the herd   My only defense is that I've never cared   My screams go unheard      This is the world you live in   Consumed by lust and love and hate   Restrain and try not to give in   Pray that it's too late   This is the world you live in   You're eaten to the core by fear   Restrain and try not to give in   And hide behind the masks you wear      This is the world you live in   You're eaten to the core by greed   Restrain, try not to give in   We tear, we watch it bleed   This is the world you live in   You're eaten to the core by fear   Restrain and try not to give in   Hide behind the masks we wear
