All around me are familiar faces

[dennilfloss]

Worn out places ? worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere ? going nowhere
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 kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
mad world 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

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world . . . world
Enlarge your world
Mad world

Everybody's talking at me.
I don't hear a word they're saying,
Only the echoes of my mind.
People stopping staring,
I can't see their faces,
Only the shadows of their eyes.

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain,
Going where the weather suits my clothes,
Backing off of the North East wind,
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone.

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain,
Going where the weather suits my clothes,
Backing off of the North East wind,
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Yup, Mad World from the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Great song used in the Gears Of War commercial nowadays.

Originally by Tears For Fears.

:laugh: the commercial came on while reading this.

 

[OSUCowboy]

I'm glad I know what that song is now; I always watch the commercial purely for the song.

What's weird is that I think Donnie Darko became a bit more popular because of this song a bunch of years back, now the Gears of War is becoming the same thing... a side story to the actual event (movie, game) is always this song

We would if the rest of his stuff didn't suck so much.

even just reading the lyrics of that song gives me the chills. That and the requim for a dream song do that to me every time.
