Mouths to feed, shoes to buy
Rent to pay, tears to dry
Brand new world

I can't relate
Let us choose
To not participate


Open up
Let me wander in

Your heart is not
Such a tender thing
Brand new world

I contend
Only love
Will stop the withering


Oh, to lie in wait
As the shadows and the shapes

Spill across the walls
Like a river
Deep

In spate

Four am

Dark reality
Brand new world
And my heart

Is missing
