Decayed Youth

Lyrics

Frozen in time, a whisper remains,
Echoes of laughter, lost in the rain.
Fingertips trace through the cracks on my skin,
A hollow reflection of what might have been.

No breath to warm, no blood to fade,
Only the dust of the life that decayed.
I reach for the light, but shadows persist,
A memory carved in a cold, endless mist.

Forever young, yet fading away,
Drifting like ghosts where the dead children play.
Eyes turn to glass, lips whisper lies,
Beauty dissolves in the pale, empty skies.

Mirrors don’t hold what I used to be,
Only the cracks of a lost reverie.
Once I could dance, once I could sing,
Now I am silence, an unbroken sting.

No one will touch me, no one will see,
I’m just the wind through a dead willow tree.
The world keeps turning, I stand so still,
A shadow, a specter, a ghost without will.

Forever young, yet fading away,
Drifting like ghosts where the dead children play.
Eyes turn to glass, lips whisper lies,
Beauty dissolves in the pale, empty skies.

Falling like ashes, swept by the tide,
A vision unseen, still trapped inside.
Frozen in sorrow, silent and small,
A child of the night who lost it all.
