Nothingness

For the dreams that never died Just forgot and hung out to dry And wilt away, every day It seems they'll never bloom again And for the change that never came Full of promise washed away To emptiness because we lost our grip And we couldn't find our strength again And through the thick, through the thin To the brink and back again Where nothing exists but loneliness And I never wanted it to end like this And then it hits and I'm wondering if I just wanted a taste of it on my lips Did I need to chew, follow through Let it sink into my stomach where it sits Like nothingness Like nothingness Like nothingness For the ghosts that go unknown Who want to scream but are scared to choke On the words they spoke, promises broke The undying fear we all wind up alone And then it slips Through tightened lips Just a whisper in the distance If you listen, it's only there for but an instant Then it's gone, gone, gone Drowned out by the static of the song And all that's wrong And all the longing to belong But then we lost our voice, and we made our choice And we couldn't break free from the noise So, it came to this, a parting gift One last chance to change before we start to drift Into something less Like nothingness Like nothingness For one last glance at redemption Before it fades and goes unmentioned And hides away on darker days Until nothing left remains And like shadows bury faces Moments get wasted Memories get replaced with Something less We'd save our souls But for how long Before truth gets washed Virtue is worn We'd save our souls But for how long Before truth gets washed Virtue is worn
