World Apart
Driving back to Philadelphia
But there's nothing for me there
Now the books would say that's romance
But I don't even care
I just want someone to look at me
The way my father looks at nature
A cataclysmic revelation
An over-exaggeration
I wanna rip my world apart
What's it gonna take to restart?
I came alive in the fire tonight
And I danced on the streets of this town
I railed against everything they taught me
But I wouldn't burn it down
What's wrong with a little rebellion?
What's the point of getting paid?
I spend a quarter of my income just to say what I have to say
It's relentless oblivion
It's a cosmic insignificance
If nothing matters, then I think that it's alright
It's impossible we're here at the same time
I track dirt into my parents' house
And I see the good in my dog's eyes
She doesn't know how big the world is
But she'd never leave my side
I wanna rip my world apart
What's it gonna take to restart?
I wanna run until I drop
What's gonna make my heart stop?
I run my fingers through the water
I slam my head against the concrete
I keep a replica Colt .45 between my mattress and box spring
But I know that the end is coming
I can feel it closing in
And if no one's actually out there
Then I'm all alone in this
I wanna rip my world apart
What's it gonna take to restart?
I wanna run until I drop
What's gonna make my heart stop?
But there's nothing for me there
Now the books would say that's romance
But I don't even care
I just want someone to look at me
The way my father looks at nature
A cataclysmic revelation
An over-exaggeration
I wanna rip my world apart
What's it gonna take to restart?
I came alive in the fire tonight
And I danced on the streets of this town
I railed against everything they taught me
But I wouldn't burn it down
What's wrong with a little rebellion?
What's the point of getting paid?
I spend a quarter of my income just to say what I have to say
It's relentless oblivion
It's a cosmic insignificance
If nothing matters, then I think that it's alright
It's impossible we're here at the same time
I track dirt into my parents' house
And I see the good in my dog's eyes
She doesn't know how big the world is
But she'd never leave my side
I wanna rip my world apart
What's it gonna take to restart?
I wanna run until I drop
What's gonna make my heart stop?
I run my fingers through the water
I slam my head against the concrete
I keep a replica Colt .45 between my mattress and box spring
But I know that the end is coming
I can feel it closing in
And if no one's actually out there
Then I'm all alone in this
I wanna rip my world apart
What's it gonna take to restart?
I wanna run until I drop
What's gonna make my heart stop?
