   : 4x
 1st verse :
   Life it seems will fade  away, drifting  further every  day.
   Getting lost within myself, nothing  matters, no one  else.
   I have lost the will  to live, simply  nothing more to  give.
   There is nothing more  for me. Need  the end to set__
   __me free
 
 
 
 
 pre-verse melody :
 
   : 4x
 2d verse :
   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____________

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