     Life it seems will fade away drifting further everyday.
     Getting lost   within myself Nothing matters no one else.
     I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give.
     There is nothing here for me Need the end to set me free.

       Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me
       Deathly lost, this can't be real Cannot stand this hell i feel
       Emptiness is      filling me      to the point of agony 
       Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone

3. No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
4. Now I can't think, think why I should even try
7. Yesterday seems as though it never existed
8. Death Greets me warm now I will just say goodbye
