"All For Nothing" lyrics

"All For Nothing"

Tell me

You left your life
In slow decay
Your final breath
Is forever in vain
Hope is your tomb

The warmth was
So bitter and stagnant
On that hollow day
No one to watch you slip away
I knew I'd never see your face again
The future became fractured
Distorted
The violence was birthed
Out of our sadness
Emptiness becomes my home

You'd been searching for breath
Suffocating
You had longed to believe there was a reason
A purpose
Watching the days
From inside of your prison
Of hollow flesh
That body became your living grave

And when we die, how will we know?
We were born on ash
The end falls upon our backs
And on borrowed time
We will reap all that we sew

Now that your light is extinguished
Swallow the blood back
Think of everything you had
Spread your eyes and watch it go

Tell me
On borrowed time we will reap all that we sew

In the end
Is it all for nothing?
The fading light
And the bitterness of dark
I am the void forever
And through my eyes
You can see the face of death

Through my eyes
You can see the face of death

So when we die, where will we go?
We were born on ash
The end falls upon our backs
And on borrowed time
We will reap all that we sew

Now as your light is extinguished
Swallow the blood back
Think of everything you had
Spread your eyes and watch it go

My distant mind
Chaos I cannot fight
And in the end
Is it all for nothing?

I, I make amends
The Earth becomes my bed
And in the end
Is it all for nothing?

In the end
Is it all for nothing?
The fading light
And the bitterness of dark
I am the void forever
And through my eyes
You can see the face of death

I am, I am
And through my eyes
You can see the face of death
