Never a Will

Drifting lazily downstream towards the river's end

Nothing ever changes underwater.

Oh, the hours turn to days

In the solitude of your cage

Made out of endless space

You can feel gravity sundering the satellites

High above the atmosphere,

Burning as they fall

Light up the sky tonight in celebration

You miss the chance to see the earth inviolate

Never a will, never a wake

Your body disintegrates

Floating away into the sea

This is the way your life ends

When you wake up there's no one to comfort you

But dont you worry about a thing,

Your whole life has been one bad dream

Of love you left behind in the rubble and the rack

Torn by tides of memory

Deep beneath the surface

Of the arctic ocean

You wait for help alone for days on end

Without a breath of air, you slowly suffocate,

Never a will, never a wake

Your body disintegrates

Floating away into the sea

This is the way your life ends

when you wake up there's no one to comfort you
