the world, you and i

[Verse 1] The world has always been a cruel place, leaving us bleeding, disrupting our calm pace. Its long nights as dark as the endless lies that it feeds to us as if they were rights. [Pre-Chorus] Oh love, and yet we are still here, wasn't that precisely our fear? Tethered to the world's sealed gate, to a life in despair and without escape. [Chorus] Time, the world, you and I, that is all there is to this life. Oh I wonder how long it will last until we can finally break from its grasp [Verse 2] Loneliness, draught, withering lights, winds that carry nothing other than our cries. In its wake, numbness and hollow streets; nothing is left from the once happy me. [Verse 3] Oh love, how can you have the strength to bear our wishes, our dreams, both yours and my share of longing and yearning for what could have been, had the world not taken them all from within. [Pre-Chorus] Oh love, and yet we are still here, wasn't that precisely our fear? Tethered to the world's sealed gate, to a life in despair and without escape. [Bridge] Just wait, one day hope may come back with whispers of a future for our hearts. And when that fateful day arrives we'll be there with countless tears in our eyes. [Chorus] Time, the world, you and I, that is all there is to this life. Oh I wonder how long it will last until we can finally break from its grasp. [Outro] You see, happiness is on its merry way through the seas and the forests full of decay. Happiness one day will have us in its embrace, this is a fact not even the world can erase.
