Cynical

[Chorus]
I don’t see how you expect me to get any better
With every wasted effort, I’m like a ticking time bomb
Broken individual, everything is so cynical
This world we live in’s critical, but I hope I’m wrong
I don’t see how you expect me to get any better
With every wasted effort, I’m like a ticking time bomb
Broken individual, everything is so cynical
This world we live in’s critical, but I hope I’m wrong

[Verse 1]
I’m looking back at all the things I tried to make a difference with
Made a song about the standard of the world we live
How everything is crumbling beneath us, God forbid
That we help anyone but ourselves, I’m lost with this
I thought as a collective, we would all just stand together
The problem is you’re selfish, now the answer’s gone forever
Is your thinking just selective, or do you like the pressure?
The world is in depression, looks like you are the depressor
There are people dying every day and they don’t make the news
But if you’re famous, it looks like you get to break the rules
These broken, hurting families have to suffer and get on with it
I think we need to change and show compassion, not demolish it
People round the world just seem to fail to acknowledge it
You don’t need to go to college, that won’t help you see the shit
That’s going on around you, that’s how important college is
You need to see that as a people, we just keep on causing shit

[Chorus]
I don’t see how you expect me to get any better
With every wasted effort, I’m like a ticking time bomb
Broken individual, everything is so cynical
This world we live in’s critical, but I hope I’m wrong
I don’t see how you expect me to get any better
With every wasted effort, I’m like a ticking time bomb
Broken individual, everything is so cynical
This world we live in’s critical, but I hope I’m wrong

[Verse 2]
I want to be your hero and tell you everything’s going to be okay
I want to make sure that you live and help you see another day
Help you seize another day and ‘til then, I won’t go away
I’ll be stood right by your side and help you ‘til end of days
I want to tour the world with all my music and see everyone
Visit where I can and do it every other fucking month
I want to bring a smile to the faces of the broken one’s
‘Cause I was broken once now I feel like I’m the chosen one
I’m feeling empty inside, but I feel I have purpose
Make better what I’ve done wrong and be a better person
I don’t need to be a God to stop the world from hurting
But I keep feeling something and makes me so determined
Don’t know what it is, but I just feel like on top of shit
First time in forever, now I know that I can’t not commit
If people hate on me for this, then that’s a fucking crock of shit
I’m here doing what I love and no, I’ve not forgotten it

[Chorus]
I don’t see how you expect me to get any better
With every wasted effort, I’m like a ticking time bomb
Broken individual, everything is so cynical
This world we live in’s critical, but I hope I’m wrong
I don’t see how you expect me to get any better
With every wasted effort, I’m like a ticking time bomb
Broken individual, everything is so cynical
This world we live in’s critical, but I hope I’m wrong

[Verse 3]
I will continue to fight ‘til I reach my last breath
Kill what I’m feeling inside, I don’t need all the stress
I will continue to fight ‘til I reach my last breath
Kill what I’m feeling inside, I don’t need all the stress

[Chorus]
I don’t see how you expect me to get any better
With every wasted effort, I’m like a ticking time bomb
Broken individual, everything is so cynical
This world we live in’s critical, but I hope I’m wrong
I don’t see how you expect me to get any better
With every wasted effort, I’m like a ticking time bomb
Broken individual, everything is so cynical
This world we live in’s critical, but I hope I’m wrong
