Paradox

What could I have done to change this?
I feel the breath slipping in and out my lips
And wishes aren’t going to save this place
But they’ll try to no avail
We spun the world off the axis
Feels like we spread too thin
This only ends when we say it does
Can you see through the smoke in this mascaraed?
The cities are burning around you now
Just admit that you’ve never been so afraid
We took the world and we dashed it on the rocks
Like the waves in the ocean
Well don’t say that you forgot
Take a look at what you’ve become
And try to see the cost of the wars you won
Because tomorrow when all is said and done
You’re going to tare yourself apart inside
Cause you’ve got to know
We’ve spun the world off the axis
Feels like we spread too thin
This only ends when we say it does
Can you see through the smoke in this mascaraed?
The cities are burning around you now
Just admit that you’ve never been so afraid
If I call would you answer without a doubt?
Can you see through the smoke in this mascaraed?
The cities are burning around you now
Just admit that you’ve never been so afraid
We tried to change the laws
But that was not enough
All of the breath that we wasted
In time our eyes will see the fault
We’ll call our only bluff
Too blind to change now it’s to late
We spun the world off the axis
Feels like we spread too thin
Well take a look at what you’ve become
Because tomorrow when all is said and done
Tarring yourself apart inside cause you got to know
