Transience

We watched it all fade into the dark mist
You got lost in the shadow of what once was
And I, helplessly, watch the emptiness that grows
No control, no hope, no way out

When you whispered that life is a lie
And I wanted to grab what was left of the light
But everything was hidden in the endless darkness
Before it even begins, everything is already dead (already dead)

The soul itself vanished, like smoke in the wind
Lost in a maze of shadows and pain
I walk without destination, like a specter without a home
The landscape of my mind, an endless desert

Losing faith, sinking into loneliness
In slow motion, like a shadow that creeps
You walk, dead inside, without hope
Like a shadow that lengthens in the eternal night

Losing the light, drowning in darkness
Everything is gone, everything is lost
And I can no longer control anything here
When you said life is no longer yours
I just want the silence of oblivion
