Fading Away Forever The sun moves slowly
Through the sky
While I lay here and watch
The hands of time
The seconds slowly tick away
I see my dreams slipping away
I watch them disappear
Never to come true
They just slip away
Drifting off far away
As I loose each dream
I feel myself getting weak
The world around starts getting dark
I feel myself start to choke
Could this be the end?
As I loose my final dream
Death is coming for me
He's coming to take me away
Away from the hurt and pain
Away from feeling this way
Twenty-three years of hurt and pain
Being tormented every day
I couldn't cope with it at school
So I left and ruined my life
Through my teens it got worse
I was ready to burst
I tried to run away
But it didn't ease the pain
In my twenty's I got hurt some more
Someone I loved broke my heart
I was ready to die
I just wanted to die
I even turned to drink
Hoping to change the way I felt
But a friend guided me through
All the pain that I went through
Even now I still feel
Like people are taking the mick
They whisper in each other's ears
Making me feel like I don't exist
So now my dreams have slipped away
And now death is heading my way
I'm not scared or try to run away
I'm waiting for death to come my way
He'll take me away from this pain
And send me onto a better place
If it's the place I dream about
I know I'll be happy in this land
A part of me starts to pray
Will no one save me from my fate?
Someone try and catch my dreams
Before old death finally takes me
All I can do is close my eyes
I stand here and await my fate
Everything falls silent now
Does that mean I'm now dead?
Have I finally left this life?
Have I finally left this earth?
I can't feel anything now
I can't even see the clouds
So this must be
The end of my pain and the end of me
As I slowly drift away
The hands of time have stopped for me
The ticking starts to slowly fade
As I now leave this place
So I shall say my last farewell
As I slowly fade away
As my dreams go down the drain
I have now left this place
Nothing can save me now
I have become god's angel now
My life has flashed before me
My hurt and pain are gone
I've finally left this earth
Never to return
As I float towards the sky
As I say my last goodbye
Tears are forming in my eyes
I suddenly start to cry
The earth vanishes out of sight
As do the hands of time
This is such a sad goodbye
I'm trying not to cry
As the sun slowly sets
I part with old death
My life has come to an end
My life is now free from stress
Now I'm gone please promise me
You will always remember me
My spirit is now free from pain
My life will never be the same
