Well like a descendant, I drifted far, far and wide Isolation, separation, no where to hide Maybe there's somewhere I can go Where there's sunshine and the wind won't blow Nothingness All I have to feel is my loneliness Nothing in the attic 'cept an empty chest And nothing lasts forever Although there are many, I look for no one, no one but me I search for things that are taking me high and far out of reach But this is the place I call my home I live with the lies and the fear all alone Nothingness All I have to feel is my loneliness Nothing in the attic 'cept an empty chest And nothing lasts forever Nothingness All I have to feel is my lonliness Nothing in the attic 'cept an empty chest And nothing lasts forever Nothingness Loneliness Empty chest And nothing lasts forever Nothing lasts forever Nothing lasts forever Nothing lasts forever Nothing lasts forever
