when no one loves nobody,
there's not someone for everybody
some have a soul, a mind
some have just a rotting body
falling apart in pieces
i've tried to be alive
but i just cannot feel it
it feels as if i do not need it
how pretty it would be
if i could leave all this
far, far behind
never completed.
and nobody dies
everybody would cry
there'll be a sun in the sky
with tears in his eyes
don't ask me to lie
you don't have to ask me why
it's all just a beautiful life.
don't tell me you don't mourn
when you're there on your own
and the world passes you by
in that tale of sorrows
even whispers hunt and pry
there was once a river here
before the thirst made it dry
and i just stood there,
screaming into the hollow
searching it for a reply
but the shadows are all in love
dancing on naked cracked walls
bearing their all,
in a moment that makes me cry
there's so much more to empty
now that i have to leave this place
bleach my face and say good-bye
and nobody dies
everybody would cry
there'll be a sun in the sky
with tears in his eyes
don't ask me to lie
you don't have to ask me why
it's all after all
just a beautiful life.
