Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, DUIs, and movie stars

Super models, Slimfast, tv shows that never last

This is the world I live in

Latest and greatest, Apple and Mac

Do what you want and never look back

Party hard the way you want

Today is the day of your greatest stunt

It's your life, rave if you will

It's all about you, all about the thrill  

This is the world I live in

Cold, hard, pretty, and nice; give yourself your own advice

Tear, scratch, mangle, and pawn; you own it all from dusk till dawn

Love, hate, wild, and fun; act like life has only begun

This is the world I live in

Chaos, order all but gone, and yet they act like nothing's wrong

Mad scramble, power in your grasp-do you really believe it'll last?

Ruined lives, dead and sick, but all you do is cover it

Dust to dust, worry, frustration-the lies are passed to the next generation

Deceived, hurt, crushed, and trampled-no one told you the fun would be canceled

Age creeps into the poisoned heart and the first thing you see is the world you tore apart

It's dead and dying; you made it like that when you followed the cry, "Don't ever look back!"

Putrid muck, stink, and rot-this, my friend, is all you've got

Nothing matters as you waste away; you can't escape so here you'll stay

Dirty, hungry, cold, and tired-life is just about expired

This is the world I live in

We are a disfigured hand reaching in the dark

A confused child who tears itself apart

We mumble and groan, trying to escape death

And cling to whatever pride we still have left

This is the world I live in

Life fades and the hand pulls back

Your time is up, it's time you lack

And now at the end, you wish you could go back

This is the world I live in

And when it's all about to end another hand reaches out

To touch the one you're pulling back as your heart's full of doubt

It was there at the parties, there in your home

It was there when you lost everything to the lies and were alone

It watched you follow the world and take it all in

Its heart broke when you willingly drank its poison

It watched you slowly fade as you scrambled for more

A tiny speck of sand on the world's endless shore

And as that hand pulls on yours, you see a face you've never seen before

Kindness, gentleness, love, and truth-eyes that stare into the heart of you

Stronger is its grip as it pulls you from the mud

Your disfigured body now covered in its blood

All you see is the face and the eyes as He pulls you closer and you begin to cry

You hear a heart that beats for you and a voice that whispers, "I'll always love you!"

Rest in His arms, they'll hold you forever, and when the lies come back know you're still together

For all that you were, are, and ever will be-He will love you unconditionaly

This is the God I live in
