The World As We Know It

from The Wolf EP by On Wings Of Hope

/

lyrics

Bills upon bills/
[I'm] Always broke as a joke/
Whenever I [try to] put away for a rainy day/
The abyss of these debts come & swallow me/
Through sickness and health/
This weight is mine til the death of me/
Our planet drives on [becoming] wealth[y]/
But I want a life with a guarantee/
It's been said money doesn't buy bliss/
More money, more problems; that's blasphemy/
This paper is God to me/
Especially people who sell themselves/

We all sell ourselves/
No control over ourselves/
Filthy paper with dead faces/
When we possess enough of it we got the aces/
The Contrast/
“This is me living the big life/
This is the best day of my…/

Life…/
The period between the birth and death of a living thing/
The beginning everything is so precious/
Ignorance in adolescence/
I knew no difference/
[I had] no worries/
There for no interest/
In making money in a business/
Or a popular Pinterest/
A living nightmare; this is the consequence/

The world as we/
Know it/
Has its ways of/
Killing us/
The stress upon me feels/
Like no one gives a shit/
But we all have are/
Stories within us to tell/

Positive/
Is how I'm trying to be/
Uplifting/
Is how I'm trying to be seen/
As days, weeks, and months go by/
With a teary eye/
It's hard not to say goodbye/
But suicide is fucking copout/
We play these cards/
There is no folding out/

Something's got to give/
(Am I stretching myself out too far?)/
How can I possibly live?/
(Or am I not stretching far enough?)/ x2

Chorus:
...You will know it

(You will know it)/
Graced with the dawn of youth/
(You will know it)/
Slowly discover the truth/
(You will know it)/
Cause this life is too short/
(You will know it)/
There's no need to speed it up/
Don't let this be/
A mistake for you/
The world has changed/
My warning for you/
