Fading Into Dust

Fading into dust
Falling on broken trust
Wishing things could be easier

I don't know
Where I could go
To escape from this hell

I've finally found
A place without sound
And where only loneliness thrives

I must overcome
The time has come
To drift into the darkness

Down the hall
Shadows on the wall
Mock me in my sleep

Bear witness to
What time will do
When you're left all alone

People leave you
Some will mistreat too
But that's part of life

At day's end
No one to defend
You'll have to defend yourself

The shadows crawl
Down the brick wall
To break your spirit apart

Then you'll know
On hand and toe
That your time has come

Close your eyes
Wait for your demise
And take one last breath
