The Grandest Delusion

[Verse 1] Once, I felt the ending touching mine, and all I knew went void at once: the now, love, hate, time. Shouldering nothing anymore, nothing like I'd ever felt before. [Pre-Chorus] And when I reach for time... another day wouldn't change a thing. My lifeline seems to decline within an asinine storyline. (Ohaaaa) [Chorus] It's the greatest wonder of them all: people believing life can be fulfilled. That is what I might call the grandest delusion ever built. (What a beautiful lie) So you lived convinced it was worth it? Your reward...? Being forgotten. (Forgotten all the same) So you lived your life to the fullest? Good for you. It never made you permanent. (Never meant a thing) [Verse 2] Once, I saw the ending reaching them. None of them knew that the void came to see what they could have been. (Never been) And they were running out of time. If only they knew being forgotten... is fine... [Pre-Chorus] And I see you reach for time... it breaks apart and falls away. Just repeat the words, (I'm fine) let every moment meet decay. (Ohaaaa) [Chorus] It's the greatest wonder of them all: people believing life can be fulfilled. That is what I might call the grandest delusion ever built. (What a beautiful lie) So you lived convinced it was worth it? Your reward...? Being forgotten. (Forgotten all the same) So you lived your life to the fullest? Good for you... It never made you permanent. (Never meant a thing) [Bridge] But who am I to stand outside? The same conclusion waits for me. I spend my time despising life while mine is also fading. [Final Chorus] It's the greatest wonder of them all: me believing I could see beyond it. That is what I might call another way to fall for it. (What a beautiful lie) So I lived convinced I understood it. My reward...? Being forgotten. (Forgotten all the same) Did I live my life to the fullest? Hardly so. It never made me permanent. (Never meant a thing) [Outro] And if nothing means a thing, if nothing but the end is permanent... maybe life can still be lived to the fullest... without ever being fulfilled. (Never meant a thing) (Never meant a thing)
