Fading Out

Knowledge is power
that's what they say
but what's there to do
when all else fails

And I'll hold myself tighter
because between us,
you were always the fighter

I'm forced to get stronger
as yours ebbs away
knowing isn't all it seems.

The minds a machine
but easily defeated
when memories linger
and the days are all done.

The mind doesn't matter
when on the inside you're shattered
and all there's to do, switch off the lights
