"way of the world (demo)" lyrics

"way of the world (demo)"

The first thing you learn is grieving and loss
'Cause you can't return to the safe place you lost
From your mother's womb into the chaos of a cold hospital room

When you're a child, they say follow the rules
And they send you to church
And they drop you at school
And your little heart breaks
As you're watching them both drive away

And I cried on the side of the curb
The panic set in, and it hurt
But that's just the way of the world
The way of the world

As you're growing up you get faced with the truth
That your parents are people and messed up like you
And the child inside them is broken and still hurting too

You get to the end when your time's almost done
With your skin paper-thin and your bones giving up
From the very beginning you've been going against the wind

And your body goes back to the earth
And your soul to the whole universe
God, I hope that's the way that it works
The way that it works

From the very first moment it hurts
'Til the day that you're laid in the dirt
Yeah, but that's just the way of the world
The way of the world
