Like the night shadows coming over me
My words fade; turn to dust; turn to ashes
As the clouds cover the sky, thunder rolls
Almost as like it’s telling me to leave what is important to me alone

Like death my life seems to be getting shorter everyday
No one notices because no one cares
It hurts to know that you ‘re disappearing
But tough to watch people not notice that you are

Almost like a spirit with a lost cause
Unfinished business that takes over life
Like the sunset but not coming back
Fading Silence is what’s left
