Break the World
You'd never know this was an empty smile
Or that my days have felt like this for quite a while
But no one seems to see it
It's like the whole world just keeps passing me by
By and by
I find every night, I lie awake
I face my darkest fear and all these lies
Their whispering won't go away
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold
It's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh
A thousand days fell here in black and white
Longing, looking, hoping for the morning light
I know it's got to be there
I'm just waiting for the glorious sign
By and by
I find every night, I lie awake
I face my darkest fear and all these lies
Their whispering won't go away
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold
It's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound
These voices choke away the light
And they infect me with their lies
They try to take away my life
They give their one way out
But I found the Christ, the light of the sky
You've washed 'em away and now you've given me life
You've shown me the reason, the star in the night
I'm so undeserving, now I don't have to hide
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold
It's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh
Or that my days have felt like this for quite a while
But no one seems to see it
It's like the whole world just keeps passing me by
By and by
I find every night, I lie awake
I face my darkest fear and all these lies
Their whispering won't go away
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold
It's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh
A thousand days fell here in black and white
Longing, looking, hoping for the morning light
I know it's got to be there
I'm just waiting for the glorious sign
By and by
I find every night, I lie awake
I face my darkest fear and all these lies
Their whispering won't go away
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold
It's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound
These voices choke away the light
And they infect me with their lies
They try to take away my life
They give their one way out
But I found the Christ, the light of the sky
You've washed 'em away and now you've given me life
You've shown me the reason, the star in the night
I'm so undeserving, now I don't have to hide
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold
It's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh
