All but Gone
Echoes of Unwanted Solitude
Lyrics
I thought I'd live right
I aspired to lead a righteous life
And love would rain down on me
I expected love to shower upon me
But I feel sidetracked
However, I feel diverted from my path
Not needed for anything
I sense a lack of purpose or significance
Here I stand watching
I observe from a distance
As lights embrace other ones
Witnessing the affection between others
Life goes on elsewhere
Life progresses elsewhere
On me it's just wasted time
For me, it feels like time is being wasted
Nobody wants me now
I perceive a lack of desire for my presence
Will someone need me 'round come tomorrow
Will anyone seek me out in the future?
And why would you come along
Questioning the reason for someone's companionship
On a road that's paved with thorns
Choosing a difficult path full of challenges
With everything said and done
Reflecting on the past, considering all actions
Everyone lives and dies alone
Recognizing the solitary nature of life and death
But now as I write this song
As I compose this song
This poet is all but gone
The poet is nearly faded or lost
All but gone
Almost vanished
Chances I've had
Recalling missed opportunities
And a glimpse of some greater cause
And glimpses of a greater purpose
Now with my arms empty
With empty arms now
Destiny can't be forced
Accepting that destiny cannot be manipulated
False hope takes higher
False hope initially seems promising
But fades fast just as it came
But quickly fades away
Mirror turns black was there light
Uncertainty about whether there was ever light
Oh it's just the same
Realizing it's the same
Nobody wants me now
Perceiving a lack of interest from others
Will someone need me 'round come tomorrow
Will anyone seek me out in the future?
And why would you come along
Questioning the reason for someone's companionship
On a road that's paved with thorns
Choosing a difficult path full of challenges
With everything said and done
Reflecting on the past, considering all actions
Everyone lives and dies alone
Recognizing the solitary nature of life and death
But now as I write this song
As I compose this song
This poet is all but gone
The poet is nearly faded or lost
All but gone
Almost vanished
Nobody wants me now
Perceiving a lack of interest from others
Will someone need me 'round come tomorrow
Will anyone seek me out in the future?
And why would you come along
Questioning the reason for someone's companionship
On a road that's paved with thorns
Choosing a difficult path full of challenges
With everything said and done
Reflecting on the past, considering all actions
Everyone lives and dies alone
Recognizing the solitary nature of life and death
But now as I write this song
As I compose this song
This poet is all but gone
The poet is nearly faded or lost
All but gone
Almost vanished
All but gone
-All but gone
-All but
