As you know

  As you know
The time goes
Life waits for no one
You've learned that alone
When time stopped
But only for you
You knew
That in life nothing really matters
And death comes for us all
So why would you be sadder
Over a lost soul
You know not the reason
You care not to learn
And as you know through loss
The only reason as far as you're concerned
Is the pain of a soul that yearns
Longing for a loved one
Who's completely gone
Hoping to venture for once
Into the far beyond
Cowardly hiding in a corner
Or trying to take a trip
It always ends the same way
Step by step
And in the strange lights of the night
The darkness is consuming
You fear it for reasons you don't comprehend
And as you know
We will all meet an end
Be it happy, be it sad
Whether it matters at all
It doesn't matter at all
Between family and friends
We'll all be missed
And the sole reason why
Is because a soul does cry
Something unexplained within
The bodies of men
The strange power that governs us all
That moves and controls
Our vessels of flesh
Freshly submerged into a realization
That all you are is a ghost
Found in a machine
Trying your absolute best
To remain clean
And as you know
A conscience torments
No matter what you do
A clear consciousness
Is simply untrue
A myth that people search
For far and wide
Finding out that
It resides in the unknown
In the same place as their souls
And as you know
Mine knows not who it really is
A case of amnesia, perhaps
That's a plausible analysis
But we know not what happened
Something along the way was lost
Gone with the wind
Flying with the gust
