Micah Bentley - The World Goes On Lyrics

Delicate parts
And fiberglass shards
Feels a lot like the kind of people we are
We duct tape the heart
And shoot for the stars
Forgetting the ones that we were at the start
Circles and lines
Sunglasses inside
Trying to hide our egos and pride
But we can decide
What is this life
What do you want to find

And the world goes on
And the world goes on around us
And the world goes on
And the world goes on around us
And we'll be fine

The source of our fears
Year after year
The ongoing thought to make it all disappear
Clenching the prize
While trying to hide
Weighing our worth against the spoils of life
The locking of eyes
The absence of time
Being made new by matching what is inside
Is it enough
To let go and trust
Rest in what we'll become

And the world goes on
And the world goes on around us
And the world goes on
And the world goes on without us
That's ok
We'll be fine
We can waste each other's time
They may laugh
They may lie
They may say that it's a crime

And the world goes on
And the world goes on around us
And the world goes on
And the world goes on around us
And the world goes on
And the world goes on around us
And the world goes on
And the world goes on without us
