Modern World Songtext
von Matthew and the Atlas

I don′t feel right, I couldn't find a way
Running at midnight, I′m sleeping in the day
Nothing's for ever, 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
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, even if I could
I can't see it would 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
