My youth is slipping away Before I know I'll see darker days I’ve seen the truth And it runs with pain through my veins Although I’m losing my grasp I still yearn for brighter times past I see my soul collapse As my mind sighs and my body cries Stronger days Have they been spent, a memory to fade? I cannot recall a time before my mental fall Old age A time to reflect on unaccomplished goals Slipping away I'll remember stronger days I've learned this world is a lie, It will never end till we all die I know this fact and I’ve learned to cope in my life without hope Gathering all that is left The memories are all that is kept I've seen the future ahead so I’ll try to be strong And forget what’s been said
