Lyrics
Cold 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.
Who, who are you misfortune?
Are you real enough to help me to see?
I'm caught up in your rapture
With the words that you expect me to believe
And who do you think you are?
Nobody that I can recall
Well, I swear that I saw you before
Maybe in a dream, euphoria
Tell me is that your name?
Or isn't our reflection the same?
Or am I going insane?
I don't think I'm meant to be played
Maybe I do (oh)
Why don't anybody wanna look me in the eye?
What did I do?
And I don't wanna say it but
Misfortune is the look in their eyes
Misfortune, no friend of mine
I'm willing to testify
Her intentions are all I've found
Can you hear the judgment now?
And who do you think you are?
Somebody that I can recall, oh
And I know I swear we met before
Maybe in a dream, euphoria
Tell me is that my name?
I couldn't see that we were the same
They say that I'm going insane
'Cause I'm the only one in this game
I never lose (oh-hoo)
Why don't anybody wanna look me in the eye?
What did I do?
And I don't wanna say it but
Misfortune is the look in my eye (ah, oh-hoo)
