The Dirty World

Where are we? Where are we?

In this dark, dark world.

There is no one out there

Who'll tell the truth

And the filth it'll pile

To the top

I can't see anything

From all the greed.

Our little desires

We think not that they go far

Small mistakes, white lies

They taint the world

And I run, and I run

Yes my OCD

I can't take all this grime

Let me run away

Our nature, our essence

Is an evil

We think that we're the best

And when we fall down

We're all just human

Is what we say

We get something

We love it

Then we throw it away

Don't taint me

With those pigments

Of deep lies

Don't touch me

I can't take it

Get out of my sight

But I am a part of

All this nonsense

Yes, I am part of it

I want to recycle

All this filth

I want to understand

What it is that I should keep

I wish that I knew what

Is worth it in this world

But the pile is too high

The pile of your selfishness

Why you lie? It's a lie

We try to get others to love us

Be with us

But just for our satisfaction

We don't know

How to love

The proper way

We just want everybody else

To think in the same way

I feel like I'm drowning

My head is throbbing

I'm afraid of it all

We pretend like we're crying

But we're just laughing instead

And we're showing our feelings

But in the end 

We're just wanting attention

From you, our so-called friends

Don't act like you're so nice

Especially if you

Decide to change that

Don't pollute my ears anymore

Don't touch me

Don't face me

I can't take all these dirty

Disgusting 

Actions of the world

Our values, desires

What is true

It's not what we think it is

We think that it's the

Most important thing

In the world

In reality

It's nothing with worth at all

We feel all lonely

Because we don't find

What we treasure, and the people

In our lives just ruin 

How we feel about things

But I guess that's just how

The human race is

So just let me disappear.
