Plagued by disease

Haunting memories I've never quite recovered from

This is me now, apart from what was left

A hollow shell, broken down at the end of it's wick

The fire burns just bright enough to see the casket shut

The descent

I resent the content, the feeling that steps in

How I wish commitment

Wasn't such a resistance to me in my life

Growing older by their guidelines

A speck upon an infinite timeline

And I feel like it's over much too soon

Designing the lives of the innocent youth

The etchings on gravestones

The memories' painful

But not this time

I'm taking back what's mine
