I watch the time pass away
Looking upon myself
What's this life really for
What am I to do
Here's the keys to the doors
Unlock them to find truth
I crack the door to peer in
And find I'm not alone

Still don't see the purpose in me
How do these signs read
Tell me how I carry on
For I've not strength to be calm

It's loud and clear
These thoughts are real
Or could they be
A figment of
My imagination
My imagination
My imagination
My imagination

And all of this time I've been eroded away
Taking me along further and further away
And all of this time I thought I could be strong
And all along I've slowly eroded away

Please save me from fading away
Please save me from erosion
Please save me from slipping away
Please save me
