lyrics

If I could only reach you, I would tell you, I would teach you
If you could only see me, I would show you, I would meet you halfway

I would take you there, I would make you care
About people like me and my friends
Do you really want the world to end?
Do you really want the world to end?

All of these pennies we’re counting, they have bound us to our wanting
And to be trapped inside it is to be blind, is to deny it

In a world that aches
In a world that takes
from people like me and my friends
Do you really want the world to end?
Do you really want the world to end?

We carry ghosts within us, in a silence, in a sickness
Greed is a cruel companion, it’s the violence we are handed
So much to be returned, stolen not earned, so much to be unlearned

Between now and then
In a world that depends
On people like me and my friends
Do you really want the world to end?
Do you really want the world to end?
