Perfect smile through perfect lies
Hidden beneath the paintings of our faces
Holding on tight to carnival-like rides
Reaching out for unrealistic places

We run ourselves deep into the ground
Until there's nothing left and no one else around 
And our hearts are left without a sound
Tell me if the world should come to an end
Would the meaning of life hold true in your eyes

If flames burned all your material things
And floods washed everything away
Is there love around to make your soul sing
Or did you trade it all away 
In the vanities of today

We run ourselves deep into the ground
Until there's nothing left and no one else around 
And our hearts are left without a sound
Tell me if the world should come to an end
Would the meaning of life hold true in your eyes

Have we forgotten to breathe in the air
Forgotten the beauty of priceless moments 
Or is our hearts poisoned not to care
Screaming out life isn't fair

Have we lost what truly matters
          Oh, I think we have
Have we burned true love to hell
          Oh, I think we have
This world will come to shatter
      Oh, by then it won't matter

We run ourselves deep into the ground
Until there's nothing left and no one else around 
And our hearts are left without a sound
Tell me if the world should come to an end
Would the meaning of life hold true in your eyes

Ask yourself what truly matters
In this life what truly matters
