The days just roll by,
Not making any changes.
The nights creep by,
Weary are my eyes.
Fear mounts in my heart,
As each day dawns anew.
People everywhere look at me,
And see the tears in my eyes.
Is it only my imagination,
Or am I truly alone?
Where am I to go,
When there's no place to hide?
Oh, help me survive
Ever lasting time.
The curse of the ages
Keep me from being alive.
I need someone to help me,
But no one seems to care.
I'm slowly fading away,
Slowly dying inside.
Hope is already gone,
As each day comes to a close.
Fear has taken over,
Of lways being alone.
My mind has grown to old
To even care.
My days have come to night,
And there's no more fight.
Oh, help me survive
Ever lasting time.
The curse of the ages,
Keep me from being alive.
