Mad World by Alex Parks

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World

 Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

 I love getting off campus, getting away from familiar faces. Faces that are so familiar, those mass of people sitting in the road rather than traveling it, just end up looking right through me. Or maybe I look right through them. I'm tired of everyone I know, or maybe just people I recognize but don't have any idea about other than Union student. It's a mad world, yet finding beautiful insanity--much less the mad ones--becomes hard to find while locked away on a sleepwalkers' campus.
