Lyrics

You Tear the World In Two

Tear the world in two
And choose a half
But(?) look inside you
You are what you are
I've seen it through
And you will too
I can tell that you
Feel these things too
???
And teach yourself to walk
Into the hole
Exploding in your heart
I've seen it through
And you will too
I can tell that you
Feel these things too
I've seen it through
And you will too
I can tell that you
Feel these things too
You tear the world in two
I'll destroy you
