"Eras Of The Past" lyrics

All the flowers are withering
And the river is slowly drying up
Moving forward forever and ever
On a path that does not stretch far enough
A finite elixir
Seeping through all the cracks of a fragile cups
Becoming disfigured
A hollow shell of what once was

I never thought I'd end up like this
Been trying to cherish the love that I have
But it never seems to last

There is a quiet illness we can never cure
A thief in the night that feeds on your life
And nothing satisfies its appetite
I've tried to bring back the memories
But they're locked away
I've tried to retrace my footsteps
But they're not the same

I never thought I'd end up like this
Been trying to cherish the love that I have
But it never seems to last
I'm looking back at all that I've missed
Still longing for moments I'll never get back
To re-live eras of the past

Feel the night growing colder
(I never thought I'd end up like this)
Close your eyes, and it's over

Feel the night growing colder
(I never thought I'd end up like this)
Close your eyes, and it's over
