Lyrics
(The sky is falling)

I'm the worst I've ever been
Cue the drugs and violence
Misery is eminent
Desolation's kicking in
Optimism's an allusion, I ain't buying in
Copium has been confusing my own will to live

Don't ask me for no fucking favors
I'm not anybody's goddamn savior
But you won't carry me
You'll have to fend for yourself
No one can stop this wicked world from burning
Keep this world from burning
Keep this world from burning

Loss of function overload
Self corrupting animals
Interrupting visuals
Hate becomes subliminal
Insurrection, no connection, swallowed by the flame
Fear is now the cancer spreading rooted in our veins

Don't ask me for no fucking favors
I'm not anybody's goddamn savior
But you won't carry me
You'll have to fend for yourself
No one can stop this wicked world from burning

Sky is falling
Don't come calling
Close your eyes, the sky is falling
Sky is falling
Don't come calling
Close your eyes, the sky is falling
(Sky is falling, sky is falling)

Don't ask me for no fucking favors
I'm not anybody's goddamn savior
But you won't carry me
You'll have to fend for yourself
No one can stop this wicked world from burning
Keep this world from burning
Keep this world from burning
