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
