Nothing Left Lyrics

frustration upon frustration
never ending bitterness
years of hard work
ended in an instant
one fell swoop
now it's all done
lifeless limp

what we all know is coming
all the sly comments
backhanded remarks
closed door conversations
will one day soon
tear this apart

picked apart
there is nothing left
a neck stuck out so far
so many times
always unnoticed,
never acknowledged
we all just continue
to dance around

what we all know is coming
all the sly comments
backhanded remarks
closed door conversations
will one day soon
tear this apart
the damage is done
mockery of what it once was
too much time has passed
far less was said

we have lead our children
by the throats
into town for sale
traded off
left the rest to the wolves
