Awaken to a world devoid of hope and faith
I don't want to look anymore
I turn it off but it won't go away.
the pain of a high school end
the rest in a young suicide
the media drawing in 
an escape from a young girl's life
from a young girl's life. 
And we're falling further every day
now our tallest towers sway
I 抦 holding on in this world of decay
and I抳e realized that
this is anything but beautiful
anything but beautiful
this is anything but beautiful
anything but beautiful.

Awaken to a day
the fear in the eyes of a boy
the cold of a hospital stay
where a child is a cancer抯 toy
and if the angel for the lord
is the angel with the sword
I don抰 believe that anymore
I just don't believe that
still holding on for a chance to be strong

Falling further every day
now our tallest towers sway
I 抦 holding on in this world of decay
and I抳e realized 
this is anything but beautiful
anything but beautiful
this is anything but beautiful
anything but beautiful.

Somebody hold my eyes closed
somebody make the snow and the rain
one step from the fall don抰 you know
looking for heaven but the light never came
somebody keep my head turned 
give me a soul for a piece of the wire
I came for a god but it all burned down
in the fire

Falling further everyday
now our deepest oceans dry
we抮e holding on in this world
of decay
I've realized
open your eyes
this is anything but beautiful
this is anything but beautiful
anything but beautiful
a world anything but beautiful
anything but 
anything but
anything but beautiful
anything but
anything but beautiful
anything but
anything but beautiful
anything but beautiful
