Great Big White World

In space the stars are no nearer
Just glitters like a morgue
And I dreamed I was a spaceman
Burned like a moth in a flame
And our world was so fucking gone

I'm not attached to your world
Nothing heals, nothing grows
I'm not attached to your world
Nothing heals, nothing grows

Cause it's a great big white world
And we are drained of our colors
We used to love ourselves
We used to love one another

All my stitches itch, my prescription's low
I wish you were queen, just for today
And our world is so white, what else could I say

And hell was so cold, all the vases are so broken
And the roses tear our hands all open
Mother Mary miscarry, but we pray just like insects
And the world is so ugly now

Cause it's a great big white world
And we are drained of our colors
We used to love ourselves
We used to love one another

All my stitches itch, my prescription's low
I wish you were queen, just for today
All my stitches itch, my prescription's low
I wish you were queen, just for today
And our world is so white, what else could I say

Great big white world
And we are drained of our colors
We used to love ourselves
We used to love one another

All my stitches itch, my prescription's low
I wish you were queen, just for today
All my stitches itch, my prescription's low
I wish you were queen, just for today
And our world is so white, what else could I say
