What Becomes of Us? Lyrics

And so, what was it all for?

What did your ramblings earn you?

Have all your efforts gone to waste?

You'll accept that, or learn to

And so, what became of you?

Did your words carry weight here?

Was your time held with value?

Or did you just confirm what they feared?

And I fear that I am fading

With just words still remaining

I'm stuck in a lose lose game

Existing in a world that forgets you

And I feel that I am failing

If I abandon all I'm creating

So many names have been erased

Bodiless and dispossessed

I'm strugglin' for meaning in the mess

Of what becomes of us

But oh

No use for the broken man

They stayed for the open hand

We're all just flesh and bone anyway

Who'll hear what I say?

And is the knowledge learned or intrinsic?

Is the dance strange and rhythmic?

Did you ask me what I meant, before I said it?

Existing in a world that forgets you

And in structures turned to ashes

And memories half forgotten

Lie the last of our ambitions

And labor fruits turned rotten

It looks like I'll be forgotten

What becomes of us?

Oh yes, I'm strugglin' for meaning in the mess

Of what becomes of us
