World Apart

Driving back to Philadelphia But there's nothing for me there Now the books would say that's romance But I don't even care I just want someone to look at me The way my father looks at nature A cataclysmic revelation An over-exaggeration I wanna rip my world apart What's it gonna take to restart? I came alive in the fire tonight And I danced on the streets of this town I railed against everything they taught me But I wouldn't burn it down What's wrong with a little rebellion? What's the point of getting paid? I spend a quarter of my income just to say what I have to say It's relentless oblivion It's a cosmic insignificance If nothing matters, then I think that it's alright It's impossible we're here at the same time I track dirt into my parents' house And I see the good in my dog's eyes She doesn't know how big the world is But she'd never leave my side I wanna rip my world apart What's it gonna take to restart? I wanna run until I drop What's gonna make my heart stop? I run my fingers through the water I slam my head against the concrete I keep a replica Colt .45 between my mattress and box spring But I know that the end is coming I can feel it closing in And if no one's actually out there Then I'm all alone in this I wanna rip my world apart What's it gonna take to restart? I wanna run until I drop What's gonna make my heart stop?"
