Nothing Remains

Nothing remains if it's good
 What would you change if you could?
 Through evolution grows dissolution
 A shadow lies where I once stood
 The seconds tick by into hours
 And days into months that drift into years
 The confusion that comes with the passing of time
 We go wherever we're steered
 Nothing golden can stay
 That's what Johnny would say
 Running somewhere with our newly bleached hair
 And we probably won't live through today
 Why are your hands feeling cold?
 Is the pressure making you fold?
 We trade away all our sunny days
 And the parts our lives that we sold
 The seconds tick by into hours
 And days into months that drift into years
 The confusion that comes with the passing of time
 We go wherever we're steered
 I start to wither and rot away
 Memory's broken and starts to decay
 I'm just a shell, a hollowed out man
 Learning nothing to help understand
 That as I watch the sun fall
 Time's coming after us all
 I never again want to see the dark aging side of me
 The seconds tick by into hours
 And days into months that drift into years
 The confusion that comes with the passing of time
 We go wherever we're steered
 (I keep my eye on your hand
 Clean culpable contraband
 Falling behind while we can)
 Nothing remains if it's good
 What would you change if you could?
 We start to die in the blink of an eye
 A shadow lies where I once stood
 All of my timing is you
 The white noise is now mute
