Is the life we live meaningless?
Long or short lived, we all share the same fate
The question leaves a sense of emptiness
Staring down the abyss
With nothing to do but wait
Is the life we live meaningless?
Why is everything always a mess?
Dread hangs over and haunts the night
The question leaves a sense of emptiness
In the end, there's none to bare witness
Tossing and turning as hours grow late
Is the life we live meaningless?
Why must we fall into darkness?
Trembling and unable to sit straight
The question leaves a sense of emptiness
Good hearted or malicious
We all share the same fate
Is the life we live meaningless?
The question leaves a sense of emptiness
