The Wonders and the Terrors

It's hard to switch it off
Some kind of addiction
I know I've had enough
And now I am sinking
When the worst of all the earth is here in my hands
And now I've seen it all but I don't understand

All the wonders and the terrors
I'm not a child anymore
Don't know what to do with it all
All the wonderful things
And the terrible things
How can we live in a world like this?

I spread my righteous anger
Do I feel better?
There's no more room for nuance
Where are the colours?
I know I soak it up
Have the thinnest skin
I'm taking it all in
I feel everything

So feed me, feed me more
Give me what I want

All the wonders and the terrors
I'm not a child anymore
Don't know what to do with it all
All the wonderful things
And the terrible things
How can we live in a world like this?
All the wonderful things
And the terrible things
How can we live in a world like this?
All the wonderful things
And the terrible things
How can we live in a world like this?

Trouble on the other side of the world
Trouble on the other side of the sea
It was playing on my screen
Trouble on the other side of the street
On the other side of the wall
Now it's walking through my door
Nations fall, the earth shakes
And the waters roar and foam
I remember my God
I'd forgotten all about
As the days fall away
But the desperation stays
I remember my God
