The world has come to ruins
And I can’t stop screaming your name
Why won’t you answer me?
And then it hits me

My heart begins to stumble
And my mind begins to spin
I drop to my knees
As I become an ash of ashes

My soul catches fire
As my tears put it out
The endless unwanted cycle
That keeps me uselessly alive
