A World Without - Lives Half Lived

Here I lay
My life in destitution
Body rotting
Spirit damned
The last sands are falling
Leaving me memories of failure
And empty dreams

I was the instrument of my poisoned sands
My life condemned by my own choices
Walking the path of a life half lived
Looking back, I'd change it all

Followed by my past
A life abandoned
My dreams held back
Nightmares still standing
Living a constant struggle
Every moment is a war
I've fought to pay my dues
Only sadness pushes through

All I have left
Is this noose
Around my neck
I've always made excuses why
My actions can be justified

Every day I die a little more
Now I drift into the shadows

Unable to run
My legs collapsed
Any breathe could be my last
I wore my crown with pride
Upon my bloody throne
My actions were my downfall
They threw me to the wolves

Here I stay
Held down by mistakes I've made
Body rotten
Spirit damned
The last sands have fallen
Leaving me to my despair
With my life half-lived

I've come to terms with my end
I've said goodbye to this world
My life fell into disarray
It was far beyond repair

We're all living lives half-lived

We're all living lives half-lived
