Terrible Things
We are human, we are violent
We learn our lessons, then defy them
We are heartless and immoral
We carry hatred like a Bible
And there's a hole in my life, there's a blackness inside
That's eating me alive, leaving me to decide
Do I live with this pain?
As the rain starts to fall from my eyes
Asking myself why
I see terrible things
I see a sickness in a world on it's knees
It will take what you love like a thief
But in my dreams, I believe we're not these
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
We are nothin' without failure, but we've chosen ill behaviour
With every scar, we have learned not to heal, but to hurt
We've become somethin' else, even I cannot tell just why (why)
I see terrible things
I see a sickness in a world on it's knees
It will take what you love like a thief
But in my dreams, I believe we're not these
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
If I fall (if I fall)
If I run (if I run)
That's when I will become
Terrible things
I see terrible things (I see terrible things)
I see a sickness in a world on its knees (a world on its knees)
It will take what you love like a thief (oh)
But in my dreams, I believe we're not these
Look at me and you'll see, I'm not these
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
We learn our lessons, then defy them
We are heartless and immoral
We carry hatred like a Bible
And there's a hole in my life, there's a blackness inside
That's eating me alive, leaving me to decide
Do I live with this pain?
As the rain starts to fall from my eyes
Asking myself why
I see terrible things
I see a sickness in a world on it's knees
It will take what you love like a thief
But in my dreams, I believe we're not these
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
We are nothin' without failure, but we've chosen ill behaviour
With every scar, we have learned not to heal, but to hurt
We've become somethin' else, even I cannot tell just why (why)
I see terrible things
I see a sickness in a world on it's knees
It will take what you love like a thief
But in my dreams, I believe we're not these
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
If I fall (if I fall)
If I run (if I run)
That's when I will become
Terrible things
I see terrible things (I see terrible things)
I see a sickness in a world on its knees (a world on its knees)
It will take what you love like a thief (oh)
But in my dreams, I believe we're not these
Look at me and you'll see, I'm not these
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
