My brief pastoral summer was trifled away. I look back on it now, but the memory is starting to fade. There was selfish striving, it was all in vain. Full of hollow desires and trophies I cared to obtain. This path I chose composed my fate I must obey, now going astray. The painful embers cool to ash, diminishing haze, as the memory is starting to fade.
Bitterest side of me, all I revealed. Pharaohesque pride decreed, all I could feel.
Life was a test, I failed this time. The memory I've become. There was no rest, no bell would chime, For the memory I've become.
My hoard of memories are depleting away. How I wish to retain, but the memory is starting to fade. There’s so little remaining, and so little to say. I burned through a life fueled by the choices I made. I've forgotten the hour, I've lost count of the days. Given another chance, I know I would change every moment, but the memory is starting to fade.
Dissolving identity, fading in time. Grave anonymity, no bell would chime.
Life was a test, I failed this time. The memory I've become. There was no rest, no bell would chime, For the memory I've become.
This life of futility, leave it behind. My future's a memory, burned from my mind.
Life was a test, I failed this time. The memory I've become. There was no rest, no bell would chime, For the memory I've become.
