All For Naught

from Abandoned Bandwagon by Philip Bosley

/

lyrics

Fading beauty who's lost the plot
Burdens in your head like a juggernaut
Coffee grounds from the bottom of the pot
Sketches of a derailed train of thought

Tie yourself up in all these knots
Fill the page, connect the dots
Outcomes devoid of upshots
It's one for all, and all for naught

(1)
Nothing to do but stand and watch
Losers sigh at the victor's taunt
Failed the lessons you weren't taught
You get to win if you don't get caught

Kudos paid as an afterthought
Dying plants in a flower pot
Watered too late to stop the rot
Standing alone in a parking lot

(2)
Pay the price for all you've wrought
Lost the prize you thought you'd sought
Recompense that can't be bought
Blinded right in the blind spot

Cover your choked voice with a cough
Nobody cares how long you fought
Nothing to do but stand and watch
And shake your head at how quickly they all forgot you
