this house no longer feels like home

“Ways the World Can Be Cruel” is a melancholic, introspective song that explores the subtle, everyday ways the world inflicts emotional pain. Through fragmented memories, surreal imagery, and resigned observations, the narrator reflects on loss, disconnection, and the quiet cruelty of time and routine. The lyrics evoke a sense of emotional numbness and poetic irony, with recurring motifs of forgotten notes, fading feelings, and the inability to hold onto meaning. It’s a slow-burning meditation on how the world doesn’t break you loudly—it simply forgets you gently.

Lyrics: “Ways the World Can Be Cruel”

[Intro]  
I woke up in a room I didn’t choose  
The light was soft, but it felt used  
Someone left a note on the mirror  
It said: “Don’t wait for things to get clearer”

[Verse 1]  
You said the sky was just a ceiling  
Painted blue to keep us dreaming  
I watched your hands shake in the lamplight  
Like they knew something I didn’t  

[Pre-Chorus 1]  
There’s a silence in the hallway  
Where your coat still hangs like a ghost  
I tried to name the feeling  
But the feeling wouldn’t stay close  

[Chorus 1]  
The world can be cruel in a thousand ways  
A whisper, a look, a calendar page  
It doesn’t shout, it doesn’t bleed  
It just forgets what you need  

[Verse 2]  
I saw a child kick at shadows  
Like they owed him something real  
I saw a man fold into traffic  
Like he’d made some kind of deal  

[Bridge]  
And I keep a list of things I meant to say  
But the ink runs out halfway  
I keep a list of things I meant to feel  
But the world won’t make a deal  

[Verse 3]  
I saw your name on a receipt  
Folded under someone's shoe  
I saw your laugh in a rerun  
But it didn’t sound like you  

[Pre-Chorus 2]  
There’s a kindness in forgetting  
That the world won’t ever owe  
I tried to hold the moment  
But the moment let me go  

[Final Chorus]  
The world can be cruel in a thousand ways  
A song, a street, a stranger’s face  
It doesn’t break, it doesn’t bend  
It just pretends to be your friend  

[Outro]  
I left the note on the mirror  
Folded it into a paper bird  
Let it fly into the ceiling  
Where the sky forgets your word
