I see the light in your eyes get dimmer, day by day

Watching the darkness swallow you whole, forcing you to stay

You hide yourself and become only your mind

Others go forward while you fall behind

I can't bare to watch as you rip yourself apart

Your brain slowly replacing what was once your heart

You tore yourself apart until you shattered

Decided life and the world didn't matter

There are pieces of you all over the ground

I want to help, but you won't make a sound

When you look in the mirror, I don't know what you see

You are no longer yourself, and I am losing part of me

You used to be the sun, but now there is no light in the sky

I used to be the moon, but I no longer shine

But we are both humans with real lives

I didn't realize you were the one you despised

I'm trying to find the person you were before

But that person doesn't exist anymore
