Fading Light

I feel as if my days are numbered
Not knowing if today will be my last
Mind racing, scattered thoughts become blurred
How long until I am a thing of the past?

Does anyone care anymore?
Will anyone notice when I'm gone?
Becoming a memory slowly fading away
No longer the person I was before

The darkness seeping into my brain
Weight feeling like it's hard to breathe
No one knows what comes next
When we're buried six feet deep

I'm holding on to anything

I'm trying to hold on, time is slipping away
As the light is fading away
I'm not ready for the end
I can no longer pretend

I'm trying to hold on to what is left of me
Never knowing what could be
I'm fading into the darkness
Memories are becoming me

Oh

I feel it close
Just out of sight
A cold reminder of
The fading light

And I wonder if the memories last
When the future's swallowed by the past
Is there a place where I'll still be
Or am I a ghost in eternity?

I'm trying to hold on, time is slipping away
As the light is fading away
I'm not ready for the end
I can no longer pretend

I'm trying to hold on to what is left of me
Never knowing what could be
I'm fading into the darkness
Memories are becoming me

Is the fear what keeps me alive?
Fighting to breathe, fighting to survive
Time ticks away with no end
Each second passing closer to

Death

Closer to death

All I can think is that this is the end
Why now there's so much more for me
Everything fading into the cold dark night
I'm trying to hold on

And I wonder if the memories last
When the future's swallowed by the past
The endless silence screams so loud
The nothingness so heavy pulling me

Down

Pulling me down

I can't help but fear what's next
Drifting into the unknown
Gasping as I take my last breath
Nowhere to call home
