At the Heart of It

By Flying indigo express

If I could have everything
I would throw it all away,
Because I had everything 
Just the other day

And no I can't be happy 
Always wanting more
Of course once I have it
I throw it to the floor

The time to quit is now
But I have no idea how
Tumbling into the abyss
Pondering what in this life I'll miss

Goodbye to my reason
So long to my desire
I have lost everything
All that I admired
