When all the world's asleep
I'm up and stiring
When all the world's strong
I am weak
But when others are falling
I am strong
Can't you feel my engine purring?
Twisting irony and words of sense
Everyone throws in their two cents
Bite the copper and throw it back
Brood and wait for the heart attack
The emotional masochist masked in yourself
When all the world's a stage
I'm on the sideline
When all the world's perfect
I'm behind a page
But when others are falling
I've read it before
I can't see what's yours is mine
Blind turns at blazing speeds
Always fulfilling others' needs
Hold tight to those close and dear
Embrace them in your world of fear
And in the end
You've nothing left to send
The world is dead
There's nothing left to be said
This is the end of the world
The end of strength and weakness
The end of pride and innocence
This is the end of the world
