A Tragic End

Title: A Tragic End

You've carried that rock all your life
Dropped a few lines just for the fun of it
But you never realized it before
That rock was your gravestone

You wanted to live life to the fullest
But you never knew what that was
Now you've got no time left
And you're buried with these regrets

You're nothing but a tragedy
A lost soul in this poor world
You can't hold on any longer
When it all comes to an end

You never stopped to ask why
Or wondered what's the point
You always thought things were just fine
And nothing would ever go wrong

You always looked in the wrong places
Trying to find something that you lost
Even though it was right in front of your eyes
All those things that made you blind

You're nothing but a tragedy
A lost soul in this poor world
You can't hold on any longer
When it all comes to an end

After it's all said and done
In the end you realize it all too late
These addictions were your lies,
Lies when all you needed was Truth

You failed to embrace it -
You ignored all the signs
And now you seem so surprised
When He says "I never knew this man!"

You're nothing but a tragedy
A lost soul in this poor world
You can't hold on any longer
When it all comes to an end

There's nothing you can do now
His mind is made up
Final judgment is passed
And to the depths your soul is cast
