And when the sun finally dies out

When crumbling is the only sound

You will be nothing but ash and dust

No emotions will be felt

Not love, fear, hate or lust

The gorgeous darkness will engulf everything

With nothing left to hold or cling

Your lips nothing but a speck of time

Should not have that affect on my mind

I scream from the inside

It's all just such a lie

None of it will matter one day

It's not like anything will stay

Cry from the rooftops

Cry from the docks

Kiss the air and smile at death

Realise that nothing will be left

Cry from the hills

Cry from your windowsill

Remember that there's nothing to gain

No way to ever be sane

Oh, how you wish this was a game

The rules were broken long ago

Puff in, puff out, the taste of smoke

He will never care

Those eyes so rare

My name in the stars

My hopes in the car

Watch it burn and laugh

How could you be so daft

Let the water run over you

The peace of it all so beautiful

And then it all crashes down

Nothing to be heard

Not a single sound
