Mad World
Lance Allen Lyrics

All around me are familiar faces
I am surrounded by people who have already given up on their dreams and are content living boring, monotonous lives.

Worn out places,
The places where these people are living are tired and lifeless.

Worn out faces
Their faces reflect the exhaustion and disappointment of living in this dull world.

Bright and early for their daily races
These people wake up every day and participate in the same unfulfilling routines, without any real purpose or direction.

Going nowhere,
Despite their efforts, they are not actually moving forward or making any real progress in their lives.

Their tears are filling up their glasses
Their sadness and disappointment is so great that they are crying into their cups, as if their tears can fill up the emptiness inside them.

No expression,
Their faces are blank and lifeless, showing no emotion or joy.

Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow
I feel so overwhelmed by the sadness of this world that I just want to disappear and forget everything.

No tomorrow,
I feel like there is no hope for a better future, and that tomorrow will be just as meaningless as today.

And I find it kinda funny
I can't help but laugh at the absurdity of this world, and how we are all trapped in this cycle of pain and disappointment.

I find it kinda sad
At the same time, I feel deeply saddened by the fact that so many people are living such unfulfilling lives.

The dreams in which I'm dying
In my dreams, I am confronted with my own mortality and the fact that life is so fleeting and temporary.

Are the best I've ever had
Despite the darkness of these dreams, they feel somehow more meaningful and profound than the hollow existence I experience in waking life.

I find it hard to tell you
It's difficult for me to articulate my feelings about this world and my place in it.

I find it hard to take
Sometimes the weight of this sadness is so heavy that I can hardly bear it.

When people run in circles
I am frustrated by the fact that so many people seem content to repeat the same unfulfilling routines day after day, without ever breaking free or pursuing their true passions.

It′s a very, very
This cycle of despair and disappointment is incredibly pervasive and widespread.

Mad world,
This world is truly insane, and it's hard to find meaning or purpose in such a bleak and hopeless reality.

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Even children are not immune to the despair of this world, and they anxiously wait for a day when they can find some semblance of happiness and fulfillment.

Happy Birthday,
Even on their own birthdays, these children are still trapped in this bleak reality, unable to fully enjoy their special day.

And I feel the way that every child should
I remember what it was like to be a child and feel hopeful and optimistic about the future; now that hope is gone.

Sit and listen,
As a child, all I wanted to do was to be heard and understood; now I am invisible to those around me.

Went to school and I was very nervous
Even in my youth, I felt a sense of unease and fear about the future that has only intensified as I've grown older.

No one knew me,
Despite going through the motions of daily life, I feel invisible and unseen by those around me.

No one knew me
No one really knew the real me, and I feel completely alone in this world.

Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
I am desperately searching for meaning and purpose in this world, but I feel like I'm just going through the motions without any real direction or guidance.

Look right through me,
Despite my efforts to be seen and heard, I feel like everyone is looking right through me, as if I don't even exist.

Enlarging your world
Despite the madness and despair of this world, there is still the potential for growth and self-discovery, and I must embrace this potential in order to find meaning and fulfillment.

Mad world
This world may be crazy and chaotic, but it's up to me to find my own path and make sense of the madness.
