The World or Nothing Lyrics
The street lights hurt my eyes
More than usual tonight.
No sense of direction, my vision's blurred,
I think I'll lay down for a while.
No I don't have a bed of my own,
Just a space on someone else's.
No I don't have a bed of my own,
Just a space on someone else's, or at least for now.
I'm swallowed up by hungry streets and thirsty back alleys,
The more I try to find my feet the more the city mocks me.
The fresh air fills my lungs, the alcohol burns into my skin,
And I feel so tired and scared about everything.
But I'd clip my wings just for an excuse,
For not putting myself to better use.
We all care too much about not caring enough,
Cause' we're all too scared to leave behind our youth.
We're a self-destructive generation
Who's obituaries will be,
Due to excessive boredom, the body gave in,
To liver failure and heart disease it seems.
But I'd clip my wings just for an excuse,
For not putting myself to better use.
We all care too much about not caring enough,
Cause' we're all too scared to leave behind our youth.
To tell you the truth I'm just scared,
But at least I'm not alone.
At least I'm not alone.
And we'll sing 'til we can't speak,
And we'll sing 'til we believe.
And we'll sing 'til we can't speak,
And we'll sing 'til we believe.
And we'll sing 'til we can't speak,
We'll all sing until we believe.
More than usual tonight.
No sense of direction, my vision's blurred,
I think I'll lay down for a while.
Just a space on someone else's.
No I don't have a bed of my own,
Just a space on someone else's, or at least for now.
The more I try to find my feet the more the city mocks me.
The fresh air fills my lungs, the alcohol burns into my skin,
And I feel so tired and scared about everything.
For not putting myself to better use.
We all care too much about not caring enough,
Cause' we're all too scared to leave behind our youth.
Who's obituaries will be,
Due to excessive boredom, the body gave in,
To liver failure and heart disease it seems.
For not putting myself to better use.
We all care too much about not caring enough,
Cause' we're all too scared to leave behind our youth.
But at least I'm not alone.
At least I'm not alone.
And we'll sing 'til we believe.
And we'll sing 'til we can't speak,
And we'll sing 'til we believe.
We'll all sing until we believe.

The streetlights hurt my eyes more than usual tonight, no sense of direction and my visions blurred, I think I’ll lay down for a while. But I don’t have a bed of my own just a space in someone else’s, no I don’t have a bed of my own just a space in someone else’s, or at least for now…
I’m swallowed up by hungry streets and thirsty back alleys, the more I try to find my feet the more the city mocks me. The fresh air fills my lungs, the alcohol burns into my skin and I feel so tired and scared about everything.
I’d clip my wings just for an excuse, for not putting myself to better use. We all care too much about not caring enough, ‘cause we’re all too scared to leave behind our youth.
We’re a self-destructive generation who’s obituaries will be; “Due to excessive boredom the body gave in to liver failure and heart disease it seems”
To tell you the truth I’m just scared, but at least I’m not alone, at least I’m not alone.
And we’ll sing ‘til we can’t speak, yeah we’ll sing until we believe.
Official lyrics from Deaf Havana's tumblr.
"A song for anyone who has ever felt lost, you're not alone"
"The world or nothing is a section from a Charles Bukowski quote; "I wanted the world or nothing", it is essentially about the vicious cycle of feeling lost and resorting to the aid of alcohol while also feeling lost because of alcohol. It talks about how self destructive a lot of us are and how we enjoy abusing our bodies. I believe we are part of a generation that will die young yet none of us, myself included, seem to care."
