Anxiously I watch the clock

The hours ticking by slowly

Waiting for the clock to strike twelve

Now is the time for sleeping

But I use it to

Cut scream purge cry and feel guilty

It's just one day out of many

They all fade into memories as the time goes

Now the memories fade away

Only to be replaced by new ones

That will eventually fade too

Because nothing lasts forever

Everything disappears

And nobody stays

Slowly fading away like smoke from a fire

Except this fire is everlasting

The old smoke always being replaced

Replaced with new darker smoke

Like my memories is replaced with new

The new ones darker and bloodier

All clean air has been replaced

It's gone

And it's never coming back.
