"A Better World" lyrics

I walk decaying cities of a world upon the brink
I watch the earthly creatures one by one become extinct
As I run back and forth to keep a roof above my head
No hope for tomorrow, the future is dead

That empty sinking feeling
Deep in the soul
No a better kind of world is not possible
It cannot be done, beyond my control
No a better kind of world is not possible

I keep myself distracted by staring at a screen
My mind always racing, no longer I dream
I swallow prescriptions cause the problem is me
My moods far more stable, no longer do I dream of another world

I race on ahead as if I don't know
My face cracks a smile but the grin is hollow
Cause I've got to get used to this reality
Expect nothing different from the powers that be

That empty sinking feeling
Deep in the soul
No a better kind of world is not possible
It cannot be done, beyond my control
A better kind of world is not possible

I don't think a change is something I'll live to see
I'm far more realistic, no longer I dream
I swallow my drugs to silence a scream
I keep myself sedated, no longer do I dream of another world

Each day the same as the previous one
And each day I stay on the grind as I run
To that mass burial plot, where I'll surely be missed
No, the world I imagine, could never exist

That empty sinking feeling
Deep in the soul
No a better kind of world is not possible
It cannot be done, beyond my control
A better kind of world is not possible

I'm far too sedated to utter a scream
But no, no longer, no longer do I dream
No longer do I dream
No longer do I dream of another world
