World Coming Down by Type O Negative Lyrics

She thinks I'm Iron Man
That I don't feel pain
I don't understand why joy
Must be feigned
I'm so fortunate yet
Filled with self-hate
That the mirror shows
Me an ingrate

I could easily start
Pointing fingers
Since the blame is mine
It always lingers
That the truth it lies in
My reflection
No, this can't go on
There's no question

Yeah I know
That my world is coming down
Yeah I know, I know
I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down
Bring it on down
How quickly pass the days
Long is the night
Lying in bed awake
Bathed in starlight
Better to live
As king of beasts
Than as a lamb
Scared and weak

I will deny my role
As a human
Holding myself hostage
With no demands
It's better to burn
Quickly and bright
Than slowly and dull
Without a fight

Well, I know
That my world is coming down
Now, I know, I know
I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down
Bring it on down

I know
That my world is coming down
Yeah I know, I know
I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down
Yeah I know
That my world is coming down
Yeah I know, I know
I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down
Bring it on down
I know
That my world is coming down
Yeah I know, I know
I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down
Bring it on down
