The world is a dark and scary place
the world has a way of destroying my face
the world's a very dark and scary place

and it hurts sometimes
and it kills sometimes

you were on your knees
and I gave you a gift
you clung to it
you bled with it
you fed off it
and now you're dead, buried with it

crying crying crying

that the world is a dark and scary place
that the world has the knack for destroying a face
how you think the world's such a deadly darkening place

and it hurts sometimes
and it kills sometimes

I know you're cold
you know I'm warm
but you're to dumb
you know you want to come
though the space between us is a slum
you say, ya say, you say, ya say
you feel you want to come

crying crying crying

the world's a dark and scary place
the world has a way of destroying your face
the world is a sharks bait to take

and it hurts sometimes
and it kills sometimes

you were on your knees
and I gave you a gift
you clung to it
you bled with it
you fed off it
and now you're dead, buried with it

so you're crying crying crying

that it hurts sometimes
that it kills sometimes

crying crying crying
don't leave, don't lea
