Harvest for the World
William Becton & Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can hear all your whispers
I'm playing with fire
I'm running with scissors
I'm sick and I'm tired
I'm broken and withered
My heart is so cold now
I can't help but shiver
All that's expected of me
The older I get
The more that I realize that
This world wasn't made for me
Now I've grown bitter
Pessimistic
I'm cynical
And all of your actions
Just prove hypocritical
The older I get
The more that I realize that
This world wasn't made for me
Hate who I am for a million reasons
I'm falling apart into thousands of pieces
I'm losing this battle
With all of my demons
I've cut all my losses
Still trying to break even
I've wasted away too much time
Trying to rationalize
The feeling in me that
I have to gouge out my eyes
It's not that I'm a masochist
Despite what I feel inside
It's just that too often
I'm seeing through all your lies
I cannot give
All that's expected of me
The older I get
The more that I realize that
This world wasn't made for me
Now I've grown bitter
Pessimistic
I'm cynical
And all of your actions
Just prove hypocritical
The older I get
The more that I realize that
This world wasn't made for me
This world wasn't made for me
This world wasn't made for me
