Am                 C
Life it seems will fade away
G                 Em
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else

I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free  (fin: E5 <)

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel

Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me but now he's gone  (fin: E5 <)

No one but me, can save myself but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems, as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye  goodbyyyye
