lyrics

Closed out
From this world
In my mind
In my dreams
All I see
That is beside me
Is slowly
Fading away

The days are just passing by
Happiness is just a memory
Why am I like this
Distant and aching

Compassion is only a gift
I don't want or need
Just let me lay here
A step closer to the grave

Once love
Now hate
Once sympathy
Now emptiness

Each one of us
Has a cross they must bear
But I wish
Mine was something else

Sympathy sickens me
Because it does nothing
Deprived of empathy
Towards myself and all of you

Where are the good days
I don't know if I want them back
Or maybe I don't care
Nothing matters anyway

Dreams and fantasies
All have an expiration
Yet we are so ignorant
Blinded to the truth

In the end all I know is
We are in charge of our own fate
Because we choose what affects us
And what we will let go
