Matthew and the Atlas - Modern World lyrics

I don't feel right, I couldn't find a way
Running at midnight, I'm sleeping in the day
Nothing's forever, nothing in the end
It doesn't matter, we can still pretend

We're burning the years
They're burning in the sky
Feel too connected, rivers in your eyes
Need to dissect it, it's taking up my time
Need to direct it

I couldn't face it
I couldn't face it, the modern world
You can't fake it
You can't fake it, you're a fading sun
You can make it
You can make it, when you don't need anyone
Not anyone

You're part of the pack now
There's nothing you can bring
Part of the motion, a puppet on a string
I can't change it and even if I could
I can't see it or do any good

I couldn't face it
I couldn't face it, the modern world
You can't fake it
You can't fake it, you're a fading sun
You can make it
You can make it when you don't need anyone
Not anyone

I couldn't face it, the modern world
You can't fake it, you're a fading sun
You can make it when you don't need anyone
