All

And here is when life breaks us all
This is the time I admit I am going to fall
That whisper that there is someone
Something
Somewhere
Working against the very being we’ve worked to become
And whispering that our tragedy has only begun 

And now is when we are put in trial
We know it will last for the longest while
That feeling that almost everyone
Everything
Everywhere
Is going to turn around, and end the life left in our souls
Leaving nothing, no sought ambition- no conquered goals

The tears always flow, for now we can see
We are never who we truly wanted to be
That we are loved by no one
By nothing
Nowhere
So this empty space is filled, but only in the darkened night
Filling us with dread and fear that we can never feel alright
