World Coming Down

Type O Negative

She thinks I'm Iron Man



That I don't feel pain



I don't understand why joy



Must be feigned



I'm so fortunate yet



Filled with self hate



That the mirror shows



Me an ingrate




I could easily start



Pointing fingers



Since the blame is mine



It always lingers



That the truth it lies in



My reflection



Though this can't go on



There's no question




Yeah I know that my



World is coming down



Yeah I know I'm the one



Who brought it down



Bring it on down




How quickly pass the days,



Long is the night



Lying in bed awake,



Bathed in starlight



Better to live as



King of beasts



Than as a lamb



Scared and weak




I will deny my role



As a human



Holding myself hostage



With no demands



It's better to burn



Quickly and bright



Than slowly and dull



Without a fight
