I walk along the empty streets at night

The stars are shining in the sky and I

Remember when I was up there

The brightest of all

I see a watchman at his post

He looks at me like I am a ghost

We live in different worlds

Above and below

And I am falling

These broken wings that you made

Are taking me into the endless abyss

404/File Not Found/ Is the darkness that said it would apprentice me

404/File Not Found/For the Universe won't even notice me

And it takes me apart

Sends me back to the start

Without even an audience

My life is just an error 404

This shouldn't be,

It isn't written in my destiny

How can my very fate

Be malfunctioning

It doesn't make sense

You tell me to just keep on looking

That there will be another chance

If you just try

You said that last year too

And the year before

And if I could have another life, then I would

But I've tried

I just end up here again

404/File Not Found/I am little more than a non-entity

404/File Not Found/I am obsolescence in its entirety

In this faulty machine

I'm not even a cog

I can't even be used as fuel

My life is just an error 404

Another year has passed

Another gear has turned

Another page is burned

404/File Not Found/Its the culmination of my destiny

404/File Not Found/As I fall into this primal insanity

I have looked everywhere

I have tried everything

To recover what might have been

My life is just an error 404

And in Parallel Six

Across the River Styx

There's a party when I come home

My life is just an error 404
