As I walk through the depths Of an empty life So dim and hollow I can see the days I've lived Pass by me in reverse Now come back to me Dear Sun I've had enough Life was beginning When I learned we all will fade Can I shed this old skin? I've been pacing back and forth And I cannot take it again Return to me This is not how I Had thought it would be All that we work for Is all that is lost in the end There's no escaping As the light of the day Slips slowly from my grasp I deteriorate Until there's nothing left Nothing in this abyss compares To breathing in another rush of the air Dreams and reality coalesce I know now that I am not of this flesh We are not of this flesh Flesh Feel the cold Embracing my bones Sinking in Death's comfort On my skin Call my name and I'll know it's real Let the days you've lost Echo in your mind As you wither With time Into the darkness You have given your life For the sake of something less Than you had envisioned This disease, it will take from us Until there is nothing left Now there's only dust collecting Where your body did once lie Just a shadow in the framework Of an ordinary life But I'll hold you close to me In this memory of mine Though I am, like any other Just a fleeting part of time Return to me This is not how I Had thought it would be All that we work for Is all that is lost in the end There's no escape As the light of the day Slips slowly from my grasp I deteriorate Until there's nothing left
