I used to think I had it all planned out

The future was so bright, my dreams no doubt

But as I waited and looked ahead

Things began to change instead


My hope was replaced by dread

My young heart filled with red

As life pulled me down and I hit the ground

I lost all hope and awaited death


I used to always look up to the sky

Dreaming of what I could become and why

But now it's all a waste of time

I just wait for the end of the line

My hope was replaced by dread

My young heart filled with red

As life pulled me down and I hit the ground

I lost all hope and awaited death

I'm too tired to even try

Life has tried, but I can't

I was so hopeful, I was so sure

I believed this world had a cure

But my doubts have been growing like a weed in the soil

And I'm just waiting here, for my death to arrive

I used to look forward to the future,

Hopeful for what it might nurture,

But now I only wait for death,

Longing for my final breath.

Though I've tried so hard, I failed on my quest

Now I'm left with only this emptiness

Days are dark and long, just a drifting boat on the sea

And I'm dying here every night and day, silently

I used to think I had it all,

But life has come and made me fall

Darkness lurks deep in my soul, death is just the toll

I used to make plans that'd send chills down my spine

My future was bright, seemed to be so divine

A life of fortune, of joy and of peace

A dream without end, my life just wouldn't cease

But all that's in the past now, I can't take it back

I think I've played my part, my time is up for sure

I used to look forward to the future, hopeful for what it might nurture

But now I only wait for death, longing for my final breath

I had hopes and dreams and I'd work night and day

I'd never give up and just keep on my way

But still something has changed out of nowhere

My will was broken, my heart was everywhere

But all that's in the past now, I can't take it
