Welcome to our world
we're all dead here
we spend each day breaking our own hearts
and shedding endless tears
The world of those holding on to broken promises
and endless heartache
Where the hidden sorrow is as real
as the smiles are fake
Welcome to our world
we're all dead here
Holding on to memories
of those who have long forgotten us
but to us, they are still dear
Where we constantly contemplate
what was, what could have been and what is
Where we deeply hate ourselves
and find it hard to forgive
Welcome to our world
we're all dead here
where moving forward seems impossible
and is our greatest fear
where we always endlessly relive our past
with the lovers who are ours no more
and remind ourselves of how our actions
caused them to go
We constantly weep, grieve and lament
The suffering seems to know no end
Welcome to the land of the broken
Welcome to the land of endless tears
Welcome to our world
We're all dead here...
