This is what i see
A shadow of the man i used to be

I had a heart that shined with hope and light
Too soon to fill with hate and growing spite

Because everything i see in this dark world
The reality of life and death unfurl

Before my burning eyes i see the truth
The things that burn your soul and steal your youth

And everything around me is closing in
Seems everywhere i run is where i've been

I'm falling and i think i've lost my way
But i'm not giving into this world and its slow decay

Burn it down burn it down
Wont wait for nothing
I'll start this fire on my own

Time will leave a scar
To mark how insignificant we are

And bitter days will turn to bitter years
Forgotten dreams in time remembered fears

As everything around you falls to dust
Your love of life will slowly turn to lust

The light behind your eyes will dim and grey
The will to be will gently fade away

Now everything around you is closing in
Seems everywhere you run is where you've been

You've fallen and you think you've lost your way
Now are you gonna give into this world and its slow decay
