You tell yourself you're happy here

And never mind the cost

You hide beneath your shallow fear

Deny your life is lost

The tension starts to wear on you

Your mind's in disarray

The things you feel are out of time

With all the words you say

The world is dark and heavy

And it leans on you, it leans on you

Listen to what I say

I always have my way

When I say move, you move

When I say jump, you jump

Now all your hopes go dirty grey

Your love becomes a chore

You've watched it all just drift away

No surprises left in store

The window ledge is calling you

Your mind's in a disarray

The way out seems so simple now

In the cold, cold lift of day

The world is dark and heavy

And it leans on you, it leans on you

Listen to what I say

I always have my way

When I say move, you move

When I say jump, you jump

Jump, I said jump

So jump

The world is dark and heavy

And it leans on you, it leans on you

The world is dark and heavy

And it leans on you, it leans on you

The world is rough and jagged

And it tears you up, it tears you up

The world is rough and jagged

And it tears you up, it tears you up
