Ashtray

Someone asked me if I found God.
Yes, I think we've met a couple times.
But, I'm not sure if it was him, 'cause I couldn't look him in the eye.
And all I heard were warnings from my concious in the guilty night.
That said, "
I'll see you on the day you die." "
I'll see you on the day you die." "
I'll see you on the day you die." No, I've never been to heaven, but they say my head's up in the clouds. '
Cause I just sit here by myself and I hope I stand out in a crowd.
I tried to make my father proud, found out that I don't know how.
Tomorrow, there is only here and now.
Yes, there's only here and now.
Yes, there's only here and now.
And I hate to say it, but I've heard it all before: There's a war outside my window; revolution at my door.
Keep your corporate counter-culture that I'm trying to ignore, 'cause I don't believe in nothin' anymore.
All these teachers preachin' right from wrong can't help the weak against the strong.
Or save ya from an end that comes for you and I and everyone.
So, I'll just write another song for all the world to sing along, 'cause after all, some day we'll all be gone.
Yeah, someday we'll all be gone.
Yeah, someday we'll all be gone.
Now, I've washed my hands of everything: the fairytales and fantasy.
Apparently, reality has finally got the best of me.
And all those drugs I did in vain, they eased the pain and numbed my brain.
But life is just a high you can't sustain.
Life's a high you can't sustain.
Life's a high you can't sustain.
And, I hate to say it, but I've heard it all before: There's a devil in the details and salvation with the Lord.
No, I'm not one for compliance, and defiance left me bored.
Just I don't believe in nothing anymore.
Now, I've seen the writing on the wall.
The darkness in the crystal ball.
A house of cards about to fall.
And a piece of mind I can't recall.
But, man the worst thing that I saw was clearly the reflection of a boy who said, "
I think I've seen it all.
Yeah, I think I've seen it all.
Yeah, I think I've seen it all." And, I hate to say but I've heard it all before.
After all these years those chandeleirs have crashed upon the floor.
And there ain't no way of knowing what the future has in store.
So, I don't believe in nothing.
No, I don't believe in nothing.
No, I don't believe in nothing anymore.
