[Verse 1]

I hurt the world, the world hurts me

Maybe it and I just weren’t meant to be

If we can’t adapt, then will crime attract

The attention needed to employ your bones and fat?

If each quest ends in our parents’ nest

Then can we expedite this whole process?

It’s smart to keep energy conserved

The world’s much safer when I’m safe from the world


[Verse 2]

Star-stuck eyes and idealist dreams

Of a functioning spine and somе dignity

But set me free and award my wish

I’ll come right back likе an orphaned kid

You’re ambitious for more than dungeons

But you built the walls on which you slam your fists

Fantasies were made for the most secure

The world’s much safer when I’m safe from the world


[Verse 3]

Would you care to stay in a sterile place

Where there’s expectations and carrots to chase?

Your unkempt hormones can finally thrive

Popping corks faster than getting spliced

I know it’s all for my benefit

But when do I get to pick who’s prisoned?

There’s no sense acquainting with pleasure

The world’s much safer when you’re safe from the world


[Verse 4]

Your life’s made harder than what it is

Just surrender to your addiction

They’re not worth you and you’re not worth them

Stop trying to hang with the popular kids

Don’t be fake; don’t be what you’re not

You’re a slave in your heart of hearts

Tantrums confirm that you’re not mature

The world’s much safer when you’re safe from the world
