[Verse 1: Peter Steele]
She thinks I'm Iron Man
That I don't feel pain
I don't understand why joy
Must be feigned
I'm so fortunate yet
Filled with self-hate
That the mirror shows
Me an ingrate

[Verse 2: Peter Steele]
I could easily start
Pointing fingers
Since the blame is mine
It always lingers
That the truth it lies in
My reflection
No, this can't go on
There's no question

[Chorus: Kenny Hickey]
Yeah, I know
That my world is coming down
Yeah, I know, I know
I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down
Bring it on down

[Verse 3: Peter Steele]
How quickly pass the days
Long is the night
Lying in bed awake
Bathed in starlight
Better to live
As king of beasts
Than as a lamb
Scared and weak

[Verse 4: Peter Steele]
I will deny my role
As a human
Holding myself hostage
With no demands
It's better to burn
Quickly and bright
Than slowly and dull
Without a fight

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Peter Steele]
Well, I know
That my world is coming down
Now, I know, I know
I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down
Bring it on down
I know
That my world is coming down
Yeah, I know, I know
I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down
Yeah, I know
That my world is coming down
Yeah, I know, I know
I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down
Bring it on down
I know
That my world is coming down
Yeah, I know, I know
I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down
Bring it on down
