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
