This world was never worthy But how can I call it unfaithful Every promise was fulfilled As decay crawled from it's throat Like the dead rising from an open grave Like the dead rising from an open grave Lips of splendor and tongue of deceit All dying now as our fragile wrists hold only waste Like those gasping for their last breath We cannot hide, there's nothing left Like those gasping for their last breath We cannot hide, there's nothing left Nothing left Nothing left There's nothing left Nothing left If all my sorrow has led me here Then I would cry all of my tears To have this chance again To have this chance And know there's more than this And know there's more than you Like those gasping for their last breath We cannot hide, there's nothing left Like those gasping for their last breath We cannot hide, there's nothing left
