[VERSE 1]
Looking down at this barren land
Once known as home before
Destruction, all the world
It's an ending we have brought
[CHORUS]
The world we wrote a million times before
And what we allow to break this all down
The world we broke a million times before
What should have been stunned is now all struck dumb
[VERSE 2]
Cities they fell, life's a choke
On bittersweet warnings took for a joke
Misspent days, spent in a haze
Pumped from our factories into our graves
They must know that they're so close to bringing nothing
So they show
They've brought success at bringing nothing
[CHORUS]
The world we wrote a million times before
And what we allow to break this all down
The world we broke a million times before
What should have been stunned is now all struck dumb
Struck dumb
[VERSE 3]
Still looking down at this broken land
Once gra** has turned to sand
Hindsight's broke, sky is smoke
We've pa**ed this point of doubt
They must know that they're so close to bringing nothing
So they show they've brought success at bringing nothing
[CHORUS]
The world we wrote a million times before
And what we allow to break this all down
The world we broke a million times before
What should have been stunned is now all struck dumb
The world we wrote a million times before
And what we allow to break this all down
The world we broke a million times before
What should have been stunned is now all struck dumb
