The World We Know - Devin Shelton Lyrics

I fell in love with the world.
She gave me everything that I deserve.
I had all that I wanted and more right in my hands,
But some things just never last.
She ran away with the sun.
I guess the moon and the stars must have followed along,
Cause I’m here in the cold and the dark until she returns.
We lie because the truth really hurts.
Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight.
And I’m not sure if we can survive.
You left me here with nothing at all, with my back against the wall.
The crooks and the priests, they all gather around.
They tie up my hands, but they won’t hear me out.
No, I’m not the one. I’m not the one to blame.
But they will murrder me just the same.
She hung her promises and I took the bait.
She sold us out just for fortune and fame.
No, she’s not the one.
She’s not the one to save.
We are the fools that fell into her game
Oh, the uiverse is crumbling tonight.
And I’m not sure if we can survive.
You left me here with nothing at all, with my back against the wall.
So is this what it takes to separate the craving from the purpose?
Measured by success and not the motives of the heart.
And we are crushed beneath the weight
Of all the pressure that is put on our shoulders.
But we could be honest and confess our weakness.
Give up our innocence for the blame.
We could be saved.
Oh, the universe is crumbling tonight.
And I’m not sure if we can survive.
You left me here with nothing at all, with my back against the wall.
