you tell yourself you're happy here and never mind the cost you hide beneath your shallow fear deny your life is lost the tension starts to wear on you your mind's in disarray the things you feel are out of time with all the words you say
the world is dark and heavy and it leans on you, it leans on you the world is dark and heavy and it leans on you, it leans on you
Listen to what i say i always have my way when i say move, you move when i say jump, you jump
now all your hopes go dirty grey your love becomes a chore you've watched it all just drift away no surprises left in store the window ledge is calling you your mind's in disarray the way out seems so simple now in the cold, cold light of day
the world is rough and jagged and it tears you up, it tears you up the world is rough and jagged and it tears you up, it tears you up
Listen to what i say i always have my way when i say move, you move when i say jump, you jump
jump, i said jump so jump
the world is dark and heavy and it leans on you, it leans on you the world is dark and heavy and it leans on you, it leans on you the world is rough and jagged and it tears you up, it tears you up the world is rough and jagged and it tears you up, it tears you up
