The Wonders and the Terrors

It's hard to switch it off Some kind of addiction I know I've had enough And now I am sinking When the worst of all the earth is here in my hands And now I've seen it all but I don't understand All the wonders and the terrors I'm not a child anymore Don't know what to do with it all All the wonderful things And the terrible things How can we live in a world like this? I spread my righteous anger Do I feel better? There's no more room for nuance Where are the colours? I know I soak it up Have the thinnest skin I'm taking it all in I feel everything So feed me, feed me more Give me what I want All the wonders and the terrors I'm not a child anymore Don't know what to do with it all All the wonderful things And the terrible things How can we live in a world like this? All the wonderful things And the terrible things How can we live in a world like this? All the wonderful things And the terrible things How can we live in a world like this? Trouble on the other side of the world Trouble on the other side of the sea It was playing on my screen Trouble on the other side of the street On the other side of the wall Now it's walking through my door Nations fall, the earth shakes And the waters roar and foam I remember my God I'd forgotten all about As the days fall away But the desperation stays I remember my God
