Everything goes away, (Everybody's Dead Pt. 2)


Everybody’s Dead

 

You know that I’m not strong, I’m very disappointing,

I will tell you in the end.

There’s time where I belong, in this empty shelter,

One can drown in sin.

I feel that my life is slowly unravelling,

Until I can’t control,

I am honored I can say I met the traveler,

He offered me my soul,

Everybody’s dying, Everybody said, Everything goes away,

Everything goes away, I think everybody’s dead.

In decease, discarded, you’re not coming back,

But the hurt won’t fade away,

In the departed, Does it ever end,

I can only blame myself in this way,

But the father who had to go, It was harder than I thought,

But the memory erased,

But some ways I’m divided, I know it’s my fault,

Mom why can’t you stay,

Everybody’s dying, Everybody said, Everything goes away,

Everything goes away, Everything goes away, Now I know for sure everybody’s dead.
