Mad World Gentle Heart

The sky's on fire but no one blinks

We build our castles as the ocean sinks

Every word's a weapon

Every smile a disguise

I try to breathe but the air tells lies

Is this how it ends

Or is this how it starts

A world gone mad

And a million broken hearts

In this mad mad world

I'll keep my gentle heart

Hold it tight

Though it's tearing apart

While the chaos spins

I'll stand still in the storm

In this mad mad world

I'll stay warm

Neon lights where the stars should glow

People rushing

But where do they go

They trade their dreams for a fleeting thrill

But my soul won't bend

And it never will

In this mad mad world

I'll keep my gentle heart

Hold it tight

Though it's tearing apart

While the chaos spins

I'll stand still in the storm

In this mad mad world

I'll stay warm

The clock is screaming

But I'll take my time

This fragile spirit

It's still mine

Let the noise rise

Let the walls shake

I'll keep my soul for my own sake
