Everything Dies - Ten Foot Pole

Thought that we would always stay together

Bought the whole notion love lasts forever

But in real life forever is a disaster

There’s no such thing as happy ever after

Cuz everything dies

Everything dies

Yes it’s dark but that’s the way we’re heading

Would you prefer a story with a different setting?

Like a child you might go on pretending

Heaven is real and love is never ending

But everything dies

Everything dies

Sometimes I’m still believing

Like no one here is leaving

Sometimes I wish that glory

Was more than just a story

Sometimes I get a feeling

Wish for mercy and some healing

And some warmth in mid-December

But the ice helps me remember

That everything dies

Everything dies

You might be on top with beauty and youth

But give it some time your eyelids will droop

The years will go by your puppies will die

The pride of your life killed slowly by time

Everything dies
