We Are Nothing

When will we learn
that heartbeats
are only for the living?
        when will we see
        that the air in our lungs
        is corrupted and poisonous

Kiss me goodnight
cover me under
the blanket of our crimson sky
        Send out your light
        for tomorrow we feast
        we will sin|cheat|steal|kill|lust|hate|lie

And we'll run 'till the Earth disappears
into starlight and silk, dust to dust, ash to ash, we return
        Through forever we dance with our fears
        take a step, take a breath, in a heartbeat eternity burns

Eternity burns

The hills are alive with laughter
You and me dance in debris and dust
the ash of our ruin spins faster
Lost in pure madness and lust

When will we learn
that sometimes
things are just out of our reach
        when will we see
        that we're living in chaos
        so closer now and closer yet

And we'll run 'till the stars disappear
into black holes and white glows forever damned to the cold dark

Kiss me goodbye
We'll part ways again
eternity will not exist
        Burn up the sky
        for tomorrow is slipping
        and time will rewind back to none

And we'll run 'till our bones are no more
we are dust, ash, and ruin caught up in a tangle of life
        Through forever, we shot, stabbed, and tore
        at our steps, at our breaths, at our heartbeats the universe burns

The universe burns

The stars are alive with laughter
You and me dancing in ash and blood
The skies up above us spin faster
And come tumbling down in a flood
        Our seconds turn into centuries
        A millennium gone in a minute
        Each step that we take is a thousand at stake
        In the end we are nothing but

In the end we are nothing but
                        (the hills are alive with laughter, you and me dancing in ash and blood)
In the end we are nothing but
                        (the skies up above us spin faster, and come tumbling down in a flood)

In the end we are nothing
We are nothing
