World Coming Down - Type O Negative

She thinks I’m iron man that I don’t feel pain

I don’t understand why joy must be feigned

I’m so fortunate yet filled with self hate

That the mirror shows me an ingrate

I could easily start pointing fingers

Since the blame is mine it always lingers

That the truth it lies in my reflection

Though this can’t go on there’s no question

Yeah I know

That my world is coming down

Yeah I know

I know

I’m the one who brought it down

Brought it down

Bring it on down

How quickly pass the days long is the night

Lying in bed awake bathed in starlight

Better to live as king of beasts

Than as a lamb scared and weak

I will deny my role as a human

Holding myself hostage with no demands

It’s better to burn (to burn) quickly and bright

Than slowly and dull (and dull) without a fight

Well I know

That my world is coming down

Now I know

I know

I’m the one that brought it down

Brought it down

Yeah, Bring it on down
