Back Down To Nothing

So they say

My wounds will heal eventually

Just give it time and be patient

But I can't wait

There is something missing

From the other side of me

That keeps me going

I never wanted to see

My kingdoms collapsing

Back down to nothing

Before I wither away

Don't try to save me

I'm wilting, torn and frayed

I'm not keeping pace

Afraid of falling behind

I'm fading back to nothing

Reflection from the wreckage

Every path I had taken

Searching for separation

I'm heading

Back down to nothing

Before I wither away

Don't try to save me

I'm wilting, torn and frayed

I'm not keeping pace

Afraid of falling behind

I'm fading back to nothing

The pain only brings distance

Show me what I'm missing

I've been holding on

I'm barely holding on

Everything that I created slipped right through the seams

Just a jaded memory

Twisted comfortably

Back down to nothing

Before I wither away

Don't try to save me

I'm wilting, torn and frayed

I'm not keeping pace

Afraid of falling behind

I'm fading back to nothing
