Faded Life

The shadows of the underworld
Reflected in my eyes
Are the only indication
Of my slow death inside

And when I turn my face
Into the unfettered wind
I find it steals my breath away
With your haunting voice again

My feet are chained to darkened pathways
Following gray blocks of stone
Happiness but a forgotten photograph
In this colorless world alone

I once believed in eternity
But now I see that what it holds for me
Is a lifetime of emptiness
Forever lost, forever hurt, never free
