IN THIS WORLD WHERE NOTHING LAST

IN THIS WORLD WHERE NOTHING LAST

In this world where nothing last

We live for the future and dream of the past.

To live till tomorrow is what we pray.

But if we could, we would go back in time for one special day.

In this world where nothing last

Visions of forever are hard to grasp.

We speak to our Gods searching for a guide,

But in the end all we can do is hang on for the ride.

In this world where nothing last

We go through each day performing our task.

We try to find a reason for our existence,

But there are no answers, only resistance.

In this world where nothing last

We try to hold on but life goes too fast.

It seems like it’s over in the blink of an eye.

I try not to blink but time still passes by.

In this world where nothing last

It seems like our hearts are made of glass.

Whenever words of love are spoken

Our hearts end up forever broken.

In this world where nothing last

We try to keep what we love tight in our grasp.

When holding on to a love there’s something you should know.

Don’t hold on too tight if you want it to grow.

In this world where nothing last

We find ourselves looking for greener grass.

Sometimes life gets to be too tense.

Everything looks better on the other side of the fence.

We search for forever to no avail.

We try to find a way out, but there is no bail.

Everything eventually runs out of gas

In this world where nothing last.
