"What In The World" lyrics

"What In The World"

I wake up and look at my phone
I poison my mind
I know I should leave it alone
Somehow I can't fight it
Letting the world that I know
Come down on my shoulders
And I die inside

When we live
Do we learn
As the earth
Oh it turns
Oh my heart
It burns

What in the world have we been doing
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away, and there's nothing left
What in the world have we been doing
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away, and there's nothing left

I sit on the floor in the room
Not sure what to do
A hopeless admission of truth
Is well overdue
We're killing the world and our youth
And shameless in choosing
Oh my heart it yearns

When we live
Can we learn
As the earth
Oh it turns
Oh my heart
It burns

What in the world have we been doing
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away, and there's nothing left
What in the world have we been doing
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away, and there's nothing left

What in the world have we been doing
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away, and there's nothing left

What are we gonna do
When the world falls away
When it all disappears
When it's all gone, gone
