Empty reminiscences trickle down my arms

circling the drain in fluent motions of depression

I've watched the distance tear us apart

I've watched the strain between us grow through our veins

I'm blinded by our failures

I've lost myself in you

only now we're too far gone

nothings felt the same since you left

silent suffering blinds my will

restraining me in a labyrinthian dismay

my efforts pour out my arms

and escape down the drain

I miss the days when everything was simpler

I miss the days when I wasn't all alone

I guess this is all I was ever meant to be

my veins open up and let the darkness in

empty remnants leak out like memories

maybe that's all it ever was

memories doomed to eventually fade

feelings grow complacent when everything else dies

and all love I once had for you has grown old and bitter

I guess our efforts amounted to nothing

I'm sorry I wasn't enough in the end

there was no avoiding it

it was always going to be this way

we watched ourselves rot from the inside

until there was nothing to hold onto

I'm cutting away in my solitary state

I'm cutting every feeling away
