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 I retrace my footsteps
But they're not the same

Feel the night growing colder
Close your eyes, and it's over

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
