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
