Nothing Gained lyrics

She stays with her former love

The ploy of finance, her name

But fear of being alone

Is truly her game

A long lie lives

That knows no light

Escaping unknown loss

Stealing happiness's sight

Aged, with time ticking by

Foolish fare to trade

A life of illusions

For a better one made

How could one sighted

Be so blind as not to see

Manipulations of truth

Avoidances of reality

So the days progress

Moments fade, priorities fall

Pride is dismal in the midst of lies

One day there is nothing at all

A last gasp, and nothing gained...
