Slipping Away

I love finding old emo lyrics I wrote long ago.

Something's not right here

This feeling around

It's not what I'm used to

feeling lost, not found

My colors are fading

I put down the Book

Walk into the shadows

without a second look

My mind...is slipping away

Slipping away

And my heart...is slipping away

Slipping away

I used to have it all figured out

But now my beam is teetering

things just get too complicated

And apathy is eating me...

Now

My will...is slipping away

Slipping away

And I...am slipping away

slipping away

Yeah

Its hard to portray

The light side of me

When there's nothing inside

And I just refuse to see

Cause you see, my dear friend

Oh, my heart's turned to black

And for some fucking reason

I am not fighting back

Now I look to the sky

To the heavens above

I cry "Save me Lord God!

I deserve not your love"

Cause I'm slipping away

Slipping away

Yeah I am slipping away

slipping away

I'm enjoying my fall

As i fall into abyss

Let the darkness encase me

...Because I deserve this
