Cruel World

Why am I still here?

Why've I been trapped

For many years?

Have I been forgotten?

Why hasn't anyone

Rescued me?

(music starts)

Deep down in this pit of hatred

Where sunlight cannot reach

Forever have I been alone

Except for all of my pain

Waiting for someone to breach

The darkness

What good are prayers when

You can't be heard

And your loathing is eating at your soul?

Why am I locked in this big room

Where no one can see me?

Chorus:  You can pull at the door all you want

Until your fingers bleed

Don't tell us what you need

You can scream and cry

Until you die

I can see into the past

I can see into the future

But I refuse to look in the present

Everyone can keep their beliefs

If it gives them relief

From the pain and suffering

In this cruel world

No more is anything

What it seems

Because now everyone knows

(Chorus)

The truth

Is sick

But we have

No pick

It's just life

Just life

(instrumental)
