Nothing to Show For
---------------------------------------------------
by seven sinner
---------------------------------------------------
Death's knocking on your door
And you're hiding 'cause
You ain't got nothing to show for
Except lives you've trampled
And the innocents you gambled
Always used to hear you say
That you've had enough
Yet now you pray just to stay
Since now your time is up
And your demons are laughing
As they find you cowering, crying
Regret not breathing when there was air
Cause now there's no time left for buying
To the world you were always lying
No problem after all
Just makes the view lonelier when it comes time for dying
The lesson's nothing new except a forgotten song
And in yesterday's haze, turn's out
You knew it all along
All the bloodletting
All the scars keep you
From completely forgetting
Reasons why you started
To let go of a perpetual sorrow
But you only charred it
Always distancing yourself the farthest
Open the locks of hatred
Opaque content rains down upon the hills tonight
For others' sake, blood stains faded
But what you wouldn't do just to trade it
