Was it everything they told you?
Was it all the things they promised you?
Was it everything they told you?
Was it everything they said it would be?
Strange things move in the corner of my eye
And the sky never looked so white and pretty
Tiny figures crawl upon my sterile flesh
There's a hole in the world, and it keeps getting bigger
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all the things you prayed for?
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it everything you though it would be?
How can you love it
How can you believe it
How can you need it
When there's nothing there?
In space where the stars are dead now
The man in the moon still has a wicked face
But the more you reach for the heavens above
The more you'll hate your own pityful love
Like a river flowing around meMirrors paradise
Pulling me in its wakeMirrors paradise
How can you love it
How can you believe it
How can you need it
When there's nothing there?
I want to show you something so much better
I'll make the world seem a little bit deader
You smilebut it's all despair
You lovebut there's nothing there
Like a river flowing around meMirrors paradise
Pulling me in it's wakeMirrors paradise
