A day of long ago, or yesterday I've seen, the life I was to follow, the life that this has been, distress my nerves, and clutter my head, lifeless I shall lay, lifeless, in my bed, the slits of death, they bleed my dreams, why can't we see, why can't we hear the screams, sanctified worries, my eyes give way, the darkness is growing, the darkness is what I pay, a life of knowledge, and of lost thought, these are the meanings, these are what I was taught, cherish this day, for it is my last, forgotten forever, forgotten I'm cast, my heart burns deep, with painful desires, scarring my face, scarring with fires, I once walked alone, in utter dismay, my dreams I lived out, my dreams that decay, fragile wings, hold only so much, leave me alone, leave me with a forgiving touch, in reality's bounds, I must keep confide, my love for you now, my love I must hide, a pain of desire, of lust striken rage, tear up my future, tear up this page, through the night sky, not a star is now shown, speaking my mind, speaking what's known, the sands of the times, are flowing to fast, my life it is over, my life lives in the past, one day long ago, I called out to you, a look to the heavens, a look, it was through, never forget me, when I am no more, this day is now ending, this day is no more...Birth sign: Aries
