Everything Must Die
10/29/11 - FtLd


There comes a time
When everyone moves away
And your neighbors are no longer
The ones you knew yesterday
It’s strange how time can change
All the faces you once knew
And when you look into the mirror
Is that stranger really you

Yet somewhere deep inside
You hide a memory
Of when you were a child
Running wild and free
But now you sit and try to wonder
All the reasons and the whys
Everything must come and go
And everything must die
Everything must die

A kiss can last forever
If you don’t open up your eyes
An embrace can hold you up above
All the things that always try
To pull you under and destroy you
With their mortal fears and lies
As my love is waiting for you
In the tears I cry

And you can live forever
If only in a dream
A dream I once wished upon
While in a dream it seems
That reality has forsaken me
And left me here to try
To hold on while you come and go
Cause everything must die
Everything must die

And if I had a vision
A dream that I could make true
It would be to be with you forever
In a place where we could do
All of the things that make you me
And all the things that make me you
Then we’d be one forever
And we would never die
We would never die
We would never die
We would never die
We would never die
