I have memories
Clouded by sorrow
Of a time in life when blood ran through my veins
But these walls keep closing
Suffocating
And now I'm trapped beneath the weight of my own loss
In the company...of my misery
I gasp for air, only to drown again
Unending waves of memories
Life's only gift bestowed to me
...regret
Every moment marks
A breaking of my heart
Now I'm left alone
With this ghost that I've become
For years I've built this monument of pain
I must find a way
To never feel again
I made the mistake of wanting
Something real, and i saw it die
I paid the price for thinking,
It was true when it was all a lie

[instrumental]

I stare at rusted structures
Creation ignored abandoned
Left to die
In these forsaken halls voices softly cry
Mourning
Inside so long
Now there's no way out
Every moment within
An eternity
I have never thought
Never pretended
That i deserved more than this
If you'd only ask
I'd give it all back
A forfeiture of life
My life
Through existence i am falling
Blurs of pale grey and blue
Shattered heart, pierced together
So long I've played this game
Dead dreams
The silent screams
Of hopes buried alive
Covered eyes
Unwilling to see
The empty ruins of my life
the lights have never worked here
Twisted cracks smirk through the plaster
I believe they've always been here
If you're silent you can here my dying
You probably think it sounds like breaking
You think I'm still living

[Instrumental]

My youth is slipping away
Before i know I'll see darker days
I've seen the truth
And it runs with pain through my veins
Although I'm losing my grasp
I still yearn for brighter times past
I see my soul collapse
As my mind sighs and my body cries
Stronger days
Have they been spent, a memory to fade?
I cannot recall a time before my mental fall
Old age
A time to reflect on unaccomplished goals
Slipping away
I'll remember stronger days
I've learned this world is a lie,
It will never end till we all die
I know this fact and I've learned to cope in my life without hope
Gathering all that is left
The memories are all that is kept
I've seen the future ahead so I'll try to be strong
And forget whats been said
