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
