Shadows have begun to fall, distant memories remain.
A selfish character in fragmented time suspends disbelief.
This rain resembles me, a fashion of those who hate to believe.
Every morning just another day to wilt away, falling further from grace.
Why cant I replace the pain?
Then my heart begins to beat one thousand times per second.
I can barely breathe. Face to face with defeat I wont retreat.
My heart begins to beat again, one thousand times I wont give in.
The sun no longer shines down on me, the rain begins to fall.
These distant memories are killing me piece by piece, Im diseased.
Like the unclasping love once lost, now Im to blame no longer ashamed.
Everyday remains the same. Just wilt away and fall away from grace.
I replace the pain with hate.
Then my heart begins to beat one thousand times per second.
I can barely breathe. Face to face with defeat I wont retreat.
My heart begins to beat again, one thousand times I wont give in.
Everyday remaining the same, I wilt away never changing anything.
My soul dissipating from hating I couldnt change anything.
My thoughts retrace, the pain remains, days fade to gray.
Refrain, unchanged, I wither away just another day.
Ive wilted away, the faces fade to plain as I remain unchanged.
I wither away just another day, Ive wilted away.
