The waitress is watching me
From the corner of the diner
On the juke box the music shifts from major
To minor
And it occurrs to me
Nothing in this world is how it seems
They say the rain falls just as heavy
On the rightous as the damned
There's too many people drowning
Walking through this land
It's clear to me
That nothing in this world
Is how it seems
There's blood on the poet's stage
The thief has paid the judges's wage
Fingers clenched in helpless rage
Just looking for the answer
Beauty is a gilded cage
Words pouring off a burning page
There's no time to re-arrange
No room for empty laughter
Your past is burning brighter
But your futures going dim
They told you it would end like this
You didn't listen to them
So you can see that
Nothing in this world
Is how it seems
We're all scratching in the dirt
For something shinier and newer
But time is no joker
And the days are growing fewer
Listen to me
Nothing in this world
Is how it seems
