Brand New World

Mouths to feed, shoes to buy

Rent to pay, tears to dry

Brand new world

I can't relate

Let us choose

To not participate

Open up

Let me wander in

Your heart is not

Such a tender thing

Brand new world

I contend

Only love

Will stop the withering

Oh, to lie in wait

As the shadows and the shapes

Spill across the walls

Like a river

Deep

In spate

Four am

Dark reality

Brand new world

And my heart

Is missing
