VS 1 THIS LIFE IS LIKE A DARKENED ROOM WHERE SOMEONE STOLE THE DOOR I ONLY WISH I KNEW WHAT I SHOUILD BE SEARCHING FOR THEY SAY IN TIME YOU WILL FIND EVERYTHING YOU NEED BUT HERE IN THIS EMPTY PLACE I CAN’T EVEN FIND A KEY BRIDGE THIS WORLD IS TURNING UPSIDE DOWN AND THE SKY IS FALLING IN AM I THE ONLY ONE IN TOWN TO KNOW THE STATE WE’RE IN? NO TIME, NO PLACE, NO VOICE, NO PLACE VS 2 I TRY TO BE A GOOD MAN ALWAYS STANDING TALL BUT I CAN’T SEE THE MASTER PLAN, CAN’T SEE IT THROUGH THIS WALL AND THE WORLD OUTSIDE IS DEAF AND BLIND, IT DOESN’T GIVE A DAMN ‘BOUT THE TROUBLES OMN MY MIND, WON’T LEND A HELPING HAND BRIDGE THIS WORLD IS TURNING UPSIDE DOWN AND THE SKY IS FALLING IN AM I THE ONLY ONE IN TOWN TO KNOW WE JUST CAN’T WIN? NO TIME, NO PLACE, NO VOICE, NO PLACE VS 3 MY HEART IS LIKE AN OPEN DOOR WITH NO-ONE WALKING THROUGH THOUGH I CAN’T HIDE THE PAIN INSIDE IT MEANS NOTHING MUCH TO YOU SO HERE I LIVE AND HERE I’LL STAY NO TROUBLE TO YOU ALL EVERYBODY PASSES BY THEY’RE NOT WAITING FOR MY CALL BRIDGE THIS WORLD IS TURNING UPSIDE DOWN AND THE SKY IS FALLING IN AM I THE ONLY ONE IN TOWN TO KNOW THE SHAPE WE’RE IN? THE SHAPE WE’RE IN , THE SHAPE WE’RE IN
