Vanitas will tell my story
Remember death, memento mori
Wandering disoriented through my abyss
I can’t save myself
I can’t blot out my pain
I can’t take this searching anymore
I'm lonesome without a purpose to hold on to
I drag myself across the floor
I feel numb but I'm in pain
Ignoring what’s left of me or what I became
Every day I tried to keep up
With the mess that I am
Beginning to feel my decay
It just began
When I'm gone
Don’t try to save me (save me)
Cause after all
No one can wake me
Vanitas will tell my story (story)
Remember death, memento mori
I breathe in
Can’t breathe out
Caught in this tragedy
Bearing the agony
My demons dragging me down
I can’t stand the pace
Somebody set me free
Somebody set me free
Somebody set me free
I can feel my life fading away
Unendurable pain is running through my veins
When I'm gone
Don’t try to save me (save me)
Cause after all
No one can wake me
Vanitas will tell my story (story)
Remember death, memento mori
Vanitas will tell my story (memento mori)
Remember death, memento mori
Memento mori
Levitating of the ground
Close to heaven yet, hell-bound
I'm fainting ‘cause I'm about to face my maker
‘Cause I'm about to face my maker
‘Cause I'm about to face my maker
When I'm gone
Don’t try to save me (save me)
Cause after all
No one can wake me
Vanitas will tell my story (story)
Remember death, memento mori
When I'm gone
Don’t try to save me (save me)
Cause after all
No one can wake me
Gasping for my very last breath
All that remains is an empty hourglass
