You Only Live Forever

All the cameras watch as you take your final breath 
They only care when the screen goes black 
Does the television screen make you feel alive in death 
Or is that tear for the moments you can't have back

You only live forever in the scars you make 
At least that's what they preach 
A heart of stone no longer has the capacity to break 
Is the message that they teach 

Do you feel peace now as the poison fills your veins 
Another lost soul seeking solace in a syringe 
Have you screamed your hearts out till nothing but the shell remained 
Another sheep lost from the flock seeking comfort in emptiness 

You only live forever in the questions you ask 
When you are young you live as kings 
But what happens if your kingdom is made up of emptiness and ash 
Then we are the rulers of nothing
