my youth is slipping away

before i know i'll see darker days

ive 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 ive 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
