Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As I walk through the depths
Of an empty life, so dim and so hollow
I can see the days I've lived
Pass by me in reverse
Now come back to me
Dear Sun, I've had enough
Life was beginning
When I learned we all will fade
[Verse 2]
Can I shed this old skin?
I've been pacing back and forth, and I cannot take it again
[Chorus]
Return to me
[Verse 3]
This is not how I had thought it would be
All that we work for is all that is lost in the end
There's no escaping
[Verse 4]
As the light of the day slips slowly from my grasp
I deteriorate until there's nothing left
Dee-ah
[Verse 5]
Nothing in this abyss compares
Breathing in another rush of the air
Dreams and reality coalesce
I know now that I am not of this flesh
[Bridge]
We are not of this flesh
Flesh
[Verse 6]
Feel the cold
Embracing my bones
Sinking in
Death's comfort on my skin
[Refrain]
Call my name, and I'll know it's real
[Bridge]
Let the days you've lost
Echo in your mind
As you wither
With time
Into the darkness
[Verse 7]
You have given your life
For the sake of something less
Than you had envisioned
This disease, it will take from us
Until there is nothing left
[Verse 8]
Now there's only dust collecting
Where your body did once lie
Just a shadow in the framework of an ordinary life
[Verse 9]
But I'll hold you close to me
In this memory of mine
Though I am, like any other
Just a fleeting part of time
[Chorus]
Return to me
[Verse 10]
This is not how I had thought it would be
All that we work for is all that is lost in the end
There's no escape
[Outro]
As the light of the day slips slowly from my grasp
I deteriorate until there's nothing left
