Nine
Our World
[VERSE 1]
Come on out to the snow
It's cold out here
Watch the smoke as it goes
And disappears

Watch the haze of my breath
Chemicals drifting in and out of my lungs
Sleeping cancrian stardust

[VERSE 2]
Come on out to the fog
Let's find Atlantis
Pretend we're witches
Push on old makeshift swings
As sticks and strings build the faith of the smallest things

[PRE-Chorus]
This is the world they left us
The pieces keep falling right out of my hands
I've cut my palms on the edges
Too many times conscience marked with red lines
Far from mercy divine

[Chorus]
But this is our world
It's roughed up and ugly
But we're still kicking
And this is our world
My shoes are worn down
But I still keep going
We've all heard this song
Play again and again
But we'll sing it again
Once again then again
Until the end
'Cause this is our world

[VERSE 3]
Come on out to the streets
The kids are here
With hands outstretched to the sky
Like they don't have fear

This is the world they left us
Maybe we'll tear it apart shred to shred
Stack it all up once again
Like we have any right to
Like it's all about you
I'm just a boy king with something to do

[Chorus]
But this is our world
It's roughed up and ugly
But we're still kicking
Yeah, this is our world
My shoes are worn down
But I still keep going
We've all heard this song
Play again and again
But we'll sing it again
Once again then again
Until the end
'Cause this is our world

[BRIDGE]
People will say what they will
Wars waged for glitter and thrills
Poison, starvation to foot the bill
That death's come to take since the garden wall was built
But I know still

[Chorus]
That this is my world
I know it's cruel and ugly
But I don't have to be
And this is our world
My shoes are worn down
But I still keep going
We've all heard this song
Play again and again
But we'll sing it again
Once again, then again
Until the end
'Cause this is our world
