Nothing Stays

When I'm all alone
The darkest place in my mind is my only home
And I forfeit my hope
In a world void of substance to tear apart my own soul
Did I cast the stone
That caused an innocent boy to become so old?
And how
Do I restore
All the meaning I lost at the end of the road?

Close your eyes
You'll be fine
Where I go
No one knows

So do we decide
Who we are, or defined only by design?
'Cause I
Don't feel alive
Unless the dark thoughts stay fleeting
My body is bleeding out
When I was young
Every breath that I'd take was a memory made
Now I
Can't fill my lungs
Nothing left to explore
Always searching for more

I fear I've lost my way
Don't recognize this face
Nothing can stay the same
All that we love will fade

Nothing stays
If I don't recover from this
Then where lies my moral compass?
Break my skin to fill the emptiness
Throw myself in the abyss
