Everything To Nothing

Then you wake

Heart kept in the body bag, pathetic
Picture framed obituary faded in the attic
A shadow of someone you used to be

You've seen so many in this way
They swore you'd never become the machine
A long forgotten memory

Everything you ever wanted
Everything you never had
Everything lies forgotten and dead
Everything turns to nothing

Another day, another turn from 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 then you wake

Everything you ever wanted
Everything you never had
Everything lies forgotten and dead
Everything turns to nothing

And then you wake
And then you wake

How quickly the master turns into the slave
Slowly succumbing with every dying age

Everything you ever wanted
Everything you never had
Everything lies forgotten and dead
Everything turns to nothing
Everything turns to nothing
