My heart is breaking.
Falling to a million pieces.
My soul is wrung out.
Can you see the creases?
My joy is now depleted, gone.
Can't you hear me crying?
My will to live is rapidly decreasing.
Can't you see me dying?
When everything around me fades away
-Ashes to ashes, dust to dust-
And when everyone is stripped to nothing,
What is left to love, who is left to trust?
So when breaking me down,
Oh cruel universe,
What more can you use?
For what can be lost
When there is nothing left to lose?
So come at me,
With your hardships and despair.
For when all has already faded into yesterday
How could I possibly still care?
