Lyrics
"Talk About This Life"
(Braden Carbol)
04/14/06
V1 Talk about meaningless,
Let's talk about this life.
Talk about heartache & sorrow.
Let's talk about the night.
Nothing but blowing smoke,
Just like the questor said.
No one gets out of this alive.
In a twinkling you are dead!
The more you know
The more you hurt!
In a short short time the wisest
End up in the dirt!
V2 All the wisdom you can gain,
Will not change that fact.
And all the riches in this world,
Won't bring love or time back.
For whom am I toiling,
Why do I work so hard?
In this life there's no meaning.
It's all just blowing smoke!
Two are better then one.
If one falls down He's helped up,
Pity the man who falls down
When he's all alone,
V1 Talk about meaningless,
Let's talk about this life.
Talk about heartache & sorrow.
Let's talk about the empty nights.
Nothing but blowing smoke,
Just like the quester said.
No one gets out of this alive.
In a twinkling you are dead!
The more you know
The more you hurt!
In a short short time the wisest
End up in the dirt!
If two can lie together,
They will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm a lone.
Though one can be defeated,
Two can stand together.
And a chord of three is a lot harder to break!
