And in the end -
We all die alone.
In a cold bed,
Staring at the wall...
Mid-stride -
Running with a dog, on a beach.
In a pregnant silence at 2am,
Reaching for the fridge...
We die alone.
Nobody knows what it means -
To fill your body,
To see what you see,
To know what you know,
Or feel...
Nobody’s there when you are born,
Nobody will -
When you stop shining on.
We all die alone.
In a dream or awake,
Facing the light,
Thrashing or fading -
Into the night...
Gently or not,
It matters little - all that you made...
Or if it truly equaled -
To that, what you take...
We all die alone.
Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust.
Earth’s is the only -
Embrace that lasts.
There is no higher purpose to life,
No “must”.
Stars, cold embers -
Stare at us.
And we all die alone.
