I'm losing it all,
inch by inch
pebble by pebble
grain by grain.
I'm losing my world,
So I starve on twigs
In a bountiful Hell
A stomach too empty
To hold any traces.
I'm losing my hope,
Too long have I stayed
Too long have I prayed
Oh, but God knows
I must find a way.
I'm losing it all
"Don't give up hope!" I beg
Let me cry for you
let me take on your pain
So we can see another day
I would rather suffer
Than to watch you fade.
So for just one day, just one moment,
I'll take on your agony.
Yet I know its in vain, to wish or to ask,
So I'll keep on hoping, and praying for another day to last.
