What do you do when there is nothing to be done, when there is no more fun?
What do you do when the world stops turning and you are left standing?
What do you do when you have nothing left, when you have no one yet?
What do you when you're all alone, and everyone is cold?
What do you do when everyone lies, and all you do is try and save them all?
What do you when ever your mind is gone and you have no one left, no one strong?
What do you do when you fear that death is near?
What do you do when you're just not ready to leave?
