Last But Fleeting Breath

from A Busker's Demo by Sam Austin

/

lyrics

Standing here above the clouds,
You're looking down, you see the crowds.
They're wandering through a selfish haze,
Morals latent, greed ablaze.
A profit does not feed your soul,
It drains your heart, it kills your goals.
And if you sell yourself to him,
He will take more than you can give.

When your greed has sucked up all,
That you can see and touch and feel.
It will turn its ugly head around,
And wrestle you into the ground.
Will you reach down from way up high,
And pull me up into the sky?
If I should lose my way,
And get sucked into this cursed place.

With your last but fleeting breath,
When your body's broken, your dreams are dead.
Will you think back to business deals?
To nifty sales and goddamn steals?
You cannot hide from your regrets,
When memories are all that you have left.
Your money is meaningless,
We do not take it with us.
