Wasting Away
wasting away
fading with the day
no matter what i say
i cant convince myself im ok
ive cut off from the habit
but how much longer will i make it
without cutting
without crying
without bleeding
my purpose is leaving
life has no meaning
i wake up screaming
nothing left to believe in
i disappear
the end is near
overcomed by fear
lies is all i hear
caught in my mind
depressing thoughts is all i find
everything inside my head is spinning
the want to hang on is thinning
i know im not winning
hes all im wanting
all im needing
yet hes always leaving
i feel like i have no one
everything seems gone
tormented and all alone
im dying in my darkness
the pain the shadows caress
wasting away
fading with the day
no matter what i say
i cant convince myselk im ok
