Lyrics
Hello Cruel 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.
Doubt and resentment
Bile in my stomach
feelings of hate
and a pain behind my eyes
looking at a world
thats shaking slightly
my ears are filling
with rubbish
can`t find it
and make it work
Hello Cruel world
Walking through the barbed wire
Sinking in the mud
I heard you singing
you sounded brave
Stopping over broken bodies
ignore my trembling hands
don`t think of this as blood
I know it is
Just pretend it doesnt hurt.
