World Coming Down Lyrics
She thinks I'm Iron Man
That I don't feel pain
I don't understand why joy
Must be feigned
Once so fortunate yet
Filled with self hate
That the mirror shows
Me an ingrate
I could easily start
Pointing fingers
Since the blame is mine
It always lingers
That the truth it lies in
My reflection
Though this can't go on
There's no question
Yeah I know that my world is coming down
Yeah I know I'm the one who brought it down
Bring it on down
How quickly pass the days,
Long is the night
Lying in bed awake,
Bathed in starlight
Better to live as
King of beasts
Than as a lamb
Scared and weak
I will deny my role
As a human
Holding myself hostage
With no demands
It's better to burn
Quickly and bright
Than slowly and dull
Without a fight

Only two comments for such a great piece of art? This song is astonishing. The only problem is, it's not long enough.
Its pretty much what the title says: his world is coming down and its his fault. Towards the end he doesnt give a shit anymore and just decides to bring everything he has down with him.
It's about fight with depression and anxiety.

This song has some of my favorite lyrics ever in it. The two slow parts that start with "How quickly pass the days..." and "I will deny my role...". Something about those two verses I can't get enough of.
I agree, this song should be longer. It's already 11:10 minutes, but it should be at least 15. I've never heard a song that was so honest and genuine about the nature of personal anguish, that also conveys its message so easily it requires no interpretation.
(adding to my last post) ... but it needs more verses. :)
songs not too good (dont like it much) but i guess its decent, world coming down isnt my fav album...not even top 4...
