What Happens Next?

Do you know how it feels to be alone?

Trapped inside, frozen eyes, as if you were stone?

No tears, no pain, just numbness

Falling down to cover any laughs and coldness

And it all slips away

What do you do when it all fades?

What happens next?

Where are all the memories the joys the happiness

What happens next?

As I sit here and wonder how today

Would’ve sounded

If I had sang it yesterday?

Dry inside, with tears in my eyes.

Emptiness so vast buried within the lies

And all my dreams

Shattered and broken at the seams

And it all slips away

Oh what do you do when it all fades?

What happens next?

Where are all the voices that I used to hear?

What happens next?

Broken inside

With empty memories of yesterday

Playing on my lips.

Death do us part this time

I think that that would suffice

And all the empty songs

With which you’d sing along

And it all slips away

Oh what do you do when it fades?

What happens next?

So many voices gone today

What happens next?

When the grey comes out to play

And all the songs of yesterday

Playing on the wind

Sing to the heavens out

There’s gotta be more than this

Oh what happens next?

Can’t you give me some sign?

I’m living out this lie, living out this lie!

What happens next?

What happens next?

I don’t know where to go

I don’t know if I should know

And I am so confused

Tired of being beaten, tired of being abused

What happens next?

Can’t you tell me something I can hear

Instead of moving trees

Flowing gently by my ear

What happens next?

Is there ever gonna be a sign?

Or will I just keep sitting here

Watching as my life goes by?

What happens next?

What happens next?

So many unwritten chapters

Filled with empty promises

I ask what happens next

Because not knowing is killing me

My purpose is unanswered

As my life will ever be

What happens next?
