Dead To the World

Dead to the World… I don’t feel good about anything anymore Look at me; I’m dead to the world Nothing is sacred, no one is safe Just look at me, I am dead to the world… Say goodbye to a friend that has reached an abrupt end It’s much more than a job when it has become a way of life You must see it in another way Realizing that it’s not your life And the path ahead is clear and bright again But look at me, I don’t feel good about anything anymore Face down; I’m dead to the world Nothing is sacred, no one is safe Just look at me, I am dead to the world… All good deeds die with the day and all good days just as bad will end At the end of the tunnel always bathed in light you’ll stand The human contradiction in shades of light and dark The fire inside is burning but still won’t give off a spark I don’t feel right about anything anymore Just look at me, I’m dead to the world Nothing is sacred, no one is safe Face down; I am dead to the world… You give it all there is to give Your blood, your sweat, your tears And what rewards will be there for you After you have given so many years to the cause But a short and cold goodbye, heartless and thankless So look at me and you will see; I don’t feel good about anything anymore Face down; I am dead to the world Nothing is sacred, no one is safe Look at me; I am dead to the world…
