What a Shame

The pain is going to remain unchanged
Nothing is going to be the same
It doesn't matter if you have fortune or fame

Unable to turn back time
We have crossed that fine line
Fast approaching never being able to see the sun shine
Unable to let that be fine

Hitting fast forward
Moving toward

The unthinkable
The inconceivable
The unspeakable

The heat and the flame
Combined with the pain
All remain the same
At exactly zero percent contained
What a shame!
