fading away:

i wake up every morning, feeling lost and alone
a piece of me is missing, and i dont know where to call home
i try to find my footing, but its slipping away
like sand between my fingers, every single day

im losing myself slowly, in the haze of time
forgetting what makes me, me, and whats truly mine
im chasing shadows, and fading from sight
a whisper of my former self, in the dark of night

i try to hold on tight, but its slipping through
like water in my hands, im losing my grip on you
the person i once knew, is disappearing fast
leaving behind a stranger, who doesnt know the past

im searching for a lifeline, to pull me from the sea
a beacon in the darkness, to guide me back to me
but its hard to find my way, when im lost and alone
and the person i once knew, is fading to a distant tone
