It’s Over

@MtZionFund
Days that pass, they seem to agree
I apply myself to the decline
I feel as if all are my enemies
And on my soul malign
Yesterday’s just a blur
But tomorrow I’ll fight again
Fight against the madness that I will
Fight against my grins and sins
Life is just grand
Taking all my precious time
Leaving me with an empty hole
From which I always climb
Those actions used to stimulate
Now they run down and make me tired
Oh they just coagulate
Sunk deep in muck and mire
What I do; Is this is where I want to be? (F, Em) – Chorus
Life has passed right on by
If it’s all over now
I’m sure I had a good time
