Edward Young

Edward Young (c. 3 July 1683 – 5 April 1765) was an English poet, best remembered for Night-Thoughts, a series of philosophical writings in blank verse, reflecting his state of mind following several bereavements. It was one of the most popular poems of the century, influencing Goethe and Edmund Burke, among many others, with its notable illustrations by William Blake. Young also took holy orders, and wrote many fawning letters in search of preferment, attracting accusations of insincerity. more »

In a place where death is creeping
Numbness is in the air
And dreams are just for sleeping
Where can you go?
Where's the beating heart in concrete jungles?
I have everything and nothing
So tell me, what's eternal?
We only want what we can't have
I live with my head in the clouds
I should've heard the thunder by now
You say love is bigger than me and you
Than anything we'll ever do
For once in my life I can't speak
And you want louder than words
Material world
Rock bottom never felt so cold
It's so hard, so hard
So hard, so hard
It's so hard, so hard
It's so hard, so hard
So hard, so hard
It's so hard, so hard
It's so hard, so hard
So hard, so hard
It's so hard, so hard
When the dust settles
And the ground's infertile
Is there room for the theatrical
In this world of material?
So, what's eternal?
What's eternal?
What's eternal?
What's eternal?
What's eternal?
What's eternal?
What's eternal?
We'll keep running
There's always a storm coming
