Everything to Nothing

Then you wake…

Another body bag, pathetic,

Picture frame obituary faded in the attic

A shadow of someone you used to be

You’ve seen so many in these flames

And swore that you’d never become the cliché

A long forgotten memory

And when you wake…

Everything you ever wanted

Everything you never had

Everything learned forgotten and dead

Everything turns to nothing

Another day, a little dirt for the grave

Is it worth everything that you gave

What a beautiful way to waste away

Consumed by dependency

A lesson in despondency

A long forgotten memory

And when you wake…

Everything you ever wanted

Everything you never had

Everything learned, forgotten and dead

Everything turns to nothing

And then you wake…

How quickly the master

Turns into the slave

Slowly succumbing more

Every dying day

Everything you ever wanted

Everything you never had

Everything learned forgotten and dead

Everything turns to nothing
