As time goes by the memories grow
You look at the past and it starts to show
You look around and everythings changed
Nothings familiar, you think you're going insane
Remembering all the smiles you made
But even those are starting to fade
You feel like you're prisoner
With even this you're not quite sure

It's Slipping away
Start thinking to yourself
It's Slipping away
Feels like everythings coming off the shelf

You work so hard all of your life
To get what you have today
But in the end when it's said and done
It all has to go away
And the harder you try to keep the past
The less it sticks around
All the memories in your head
What happens when they can't be found

Slipping Away by OneTrickPony

I am seeing tunnel vision in a world that's dark and cold,
I cannot believe how much I've changed since the days of old,
I know it's temporary but
I need to focus straight,
I cannot believe I lost control of my fate,
I need forgiveness from the people I truely care about,
I need support behind my back to help me spit it out
I am gonna win,
I can't afford to blow this one,
I hate myself sometimes,
I love myself,
I need this way of life because it holds me
Contradiction's the way of life
Happiness is wealthyness is healthy now
I've made it through those lies and deceit,
I think what's done is done and I can't complain anymore
I am sure now that I've found myself again it feels great
I can't believe I'd lost control of my fate

Taproot "I"

Hurt

I smoke all day
The pain turns gray
I hate to say
I am this way

Its life thats so hard
Everyday it gets worse
Sometimes it gets too hard
My life is a curse

I tell myself everyday
That I suffer for you
I hurt in every way
So that you can be you

I tell myself
That someday it will pay off
Someday I will be happy
Its a lie I have
To keep myself alive

Such a pity the world we live in
It could have all been so different
All could have been blessed and free from sin
It all could have been so different...
