Lyrics
Strange Old World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Save yourself from all this confusion
Got to be yourself 'cause life is an illusion
That shelters you from reality
Run away 'cause you're standing on a landmine
If I killed myself it wouldn't be the first time
Now I've thrown away the wisdom I don't need
Now I'm here on the brink of sanity
Living in an artificial dream
Mediocrity and lies are by my side
Now I've nowhere to go and my past is lost in time
My life is a bomb and its time is ticking
These wasted years have just left me sitting
And waiting for the world to re-arrange
I lost my feet and fell in a landslide
Landed on the ground and I found a new life
But it went too fast like the life that never came
Now I'm here on the brink of sanity
Living in an artificial dream
Mediocrity and lies are by my side
Now I've nowhere to go and my past is lost in time
