30 heartbeats from the ring
You're a poet with a stranger's name
Cause you woke up with a shattered heart
And the pieces are hard to find In this wasted town
What they've broken you down and poisoned you with words
Underpainted lies that you've memorized
It's a story that no one's heard
What's wrong with this world we live in?
Where the good and bad collide
And when did you stop
believing in a better life?
And how many dreams unanswered before we get it right?
And what if it's
all forgiven
when you reach the other side?
A traveler on these streets of gold
You're never meant to sell your soul
But you find yourself rearranged Like a prophet going blind
Tired of saving yourself when there's no one to help
And you find it with both hands tied
And you're ready to go in your heart
Cause you know no one cares if you live or die
What's wrong with this world we live in?
Where the good and bad collide
And when did you stop believing
in a better life?
And how many dreams
unanswered before we get it right?
And what if it's all forgiven?
You could swallow your pride but the river is wide
It returns you to where you've been
Back to sand on the shore, back to heaven
And why are you searching for where to begin?
What's wrong with this world we live in?
When did you stop believing?
What's wrong with this world we live in?
Where the good and bad collide And when
did you stop believing in a better life?
And how many dreams unanswered before we get it right?
