What once was is no more
Like a melted snowman you left no trace
You ran away on Christmas Day
With all your belongings left in place

Your presents are still under the tree
Any day now is fine by me
Your presence is all I need
I want you back just to see

You’re probably gone forever
But I need you right now
If you don’t come back again
I’ll never feel the same again

It’s been seven years since you were seen
Wish you’d come back like Lazarus
They’ve pronounced you dead by now
Yet I thought you’d outlive the last of us

We brought your gifts to the memorial grave
The presents still wrapped up ‘till this day
I really don’t know what else to say
I wish you’d just come back again

Your presents are left corroded
In the sun and in the rain
Your presence was never seen
So mine will be the same…

Gutted and sold
Break through the mold
Beat up and ******
Disheveled, disowned

The feast of the plenty
Today we give thanks
We pray to our savior
Then drink from our drinks

The second coming
A forgotten disgrace
Why must we suffer
While others are safe

You butcher the words
That spew from your lips
The word of the lord
According to you

You have to stop
There can be no more
You have to drop
For there will be no more

Endings are beginnings
Is what they all say
Yet now that you're dead
I wish I could’ve filled you with led

You can cry
But there can be no more
You have to die
So there will be no more of you

“Let me live another day”
That’s what they all say
“Let me have another chance”
Is what they say before they’re lanced

Throw my life into the fire
Watch it burn like funeral pyre
Beneath the mud within the mire
Watch me sink into barbed wire

Over the fence and around the bend
It’s almost like I’m at wits end
Without family or a friend
It’s almost like it’s all pretend

Wish away what makes me sane
Why should I need to explain
The ways in which I live in vain
Existence is a terminal bane

Fireplace, the place for me
It’s not for you, just wait and see
Watch my clothes burn quietly
My last words might not surprise me
Yet it’ll leave you in ruins

For as long as I remember
You’ll still be known
But once I meet a similar fate
You’ll be thought of as a waste of space

Live to forget
Learn to forgive
Live to forget
Die in regret

You’re life was nothing special
But you meant the world to me
But once you’re gone forever
There’s nothing else to see

Live to forget
Learn to forgive
Live to forget
Die in regret

I don’t want you to be forgotten
But there’s no one else who cares
No one wants to be lost to time
Yet the same can’t be said for me

Sacked and dragged to an endless room
Still awaiting impending doom
Thought I’d see a crazed old man
But instead the men in black, they stand

Shackled in chains
Mouth shut, duct tape
Dragged down in vain
Try to stay sane

They put me in front of an old TV
They roll the tape in front of me
They shot my dog for all to see

They electrocute me on odd intervals
They torture me as if I’m the evil one
They gain pleasure from my distress
Once blood dripped down
They say I’ve made a mess

I’ve done nothing wrong
I have nothing to hide
But If they won’t believe me
I’d much rather die

They want answers that I don’t know
They’ve gone too far to let me go
They’ll break my bones from head to toe
They’ll reap a harvest never sown

Salvaging what’s left of me
But I don’t even know what I’m looking for
I’m trying to get back to it
But there was nothing really left to it

I can’t describe how empty I feel
Trying to put my life back together
I can’t survive if nothing gets better
So I look to the stars and I kneel

Salvage the joy that I once felt
Salvage the memories that I still repent
Salvage the ways that keep me okay
For nothing really ends just the same

I can’t describe how empty I feel
Trying to put my life back together
I can’t survive if nothing gets better
So I look to the stars and I kneel

There’s nothing there
There’s nothing left
There’s nothing
Nothing
