Nothing Follows, Nothing Stays - Emptyself

Quite dazed for this time of day,

Take concerns;

roll 'em up let 'em float away.

Sunlight on my rested eyes,

Quietly lifting me right into the sky.

Can’t focus until I slow it down,

The everyday hiss drowns it out.

I don’t pretend to be in control,

Just a wave, changing shape let it go.

Because I know…

You only get one time around this place.

There’s only one way out of this place.

Nothing follows and nothing stays.

There’s only one way out.

See my sun creeping over head,

Wonder how long I have left before it sets.

And when I stare down my last few rays,

Will my day feel complete or end with regrets?

Reach down and touch the ground,

Start shaking from the inside out.

It maybe hard to really think about

But we Begin, we will end, there is no doubt.

You only get one time around this place.

There’s only one way out of this place.

Nothing follows and nothing stays.

There’s only one way out.

Just another night alone,

Out here drawing on a stone,

Feels like I’m barely holding on And I may never feel at home,

Try to open up again,

Brace myself against the wind,

Freezes everything within

Dark like it has always been.

Stretched so thin you see right through.

Blind indifference to you

My face always betrays the truth,

So do whatever you will do,

Because I am through…
