1.
The doorbell seldom rings now, only the ghosts of friends past blowing in on cold drafts. Tea for one grows tepid, the extra cup gathers dust - a museum of might-have-beens. Memory furnishes the rooms echoes of laughter and words that once warmed the walls. The present is a sparse table: a fork, a knife, a plate, a chair waiting in vain. The windows rattle their regrets, peering out for a familiar face amidst the crowd of strangers. A life once festooned with joys and sorrows shared fades slowly into solitude.

Wither II 05:30
Your skin and hair grow pale Your limbs just bone and skin As you slow, I will grow As you slow, I will grow Your world contracts behind myopic gaze Your shadow small as I grow tall As you slow, I will grow As you slow, I will grow The fantasy of endless days Give what's left to me I feed on your age Your sunken cheeks and empty mouth You silently forever plead As you slow, I will grow As you slow, I will grow I feel the cold of your blood A trickle from a shrunken heart As you slow, I will grow As you slow, I will grow The fantasy of endless days Give what's left to me I feed on your age

Infinite horizon, mocking me A mirror of madness, waves whispering deceit I chased the dream, now it's a shroud Echoes of reason, lost in the crowd Autumn always Autumn always Time's cruel hand, erasing my name Erase the lines, between sane and insane Lies and delusions, my sole reprieve A fragile sheen, the abyss I cannot leave The world's weight, crushing my bones A leaden sea, where hope is a stone Autumn always Autumn always Time's cruel hand, erasing my name Erase the lines, between sane and insane In the void, I'm searching for a shore Where the tides of sanity, might wash me once more Autumn always Autumn always Time's cruel hand, erasing my name Erase the lines, between sane and insane Time's cruel hand, erasing my name Erase the lines, between sane and insane
