Am C G Em
Life it seems will fade away, drifting further every day.
Am C G Em
Getting lost within myself, nothing matters, no one else.
Am C G Em
I have lost the will to live, simply nothing more to give.
Am C G
There is nothing more for me. Need the end to set__

Am C G Em
Things not what they used to be, missing one inside of me.
Am C G Em
Deathly lost, this can't be real, cannot stand this hell I feel.
Am C G Em
Emptiness is filling me, to the point of agony.
Am C G
Growing darkness taking dawn, I was me, but now__
