Fading light, the shadows grow
Time slips away, but there's nowhere to go
In a world that moves too fast
I'm left behind, a relic of the past
Cold steel replaces touch, screens replace our eyes
The human heart, it fades beneath the rising tides
Left in the silence, echoes of what we knew
I'm just a ghost in a world built new
Hands reaching for the future, but they pass me by
I stand in the wreckage, as pieces of me die
Rust in my veins, it spreads through my soul
Progress moves forward, while I lose control
Rust in progress, crumbling in time
A world so relentless, leaves me behind
Rust in progress, nothing remains
A life disconnected, as metal meets pain
Machines hum the anthem of this new age
While I stand in shadows, locked in a cage
The gears keep turning, the wheels never rest
I'm a fading memory, lost in the quest
The cities rise high, the lights burn bright
But the shadows grow longer in the absence of light
The faster they build, the deeper I fall
Rust stains my spirit, they forget me all
Torn between what was and what is to come
The feeling of failure, the weight of being numb
The world moves faster, while I stand still
Rust corrodes my hope, and it always will
The scars of progress, they cut so deep
Promises broken, and dreams left to weep
I watch the future, but it's out of reach
Rust in my heart, the lessons they teach
Time slips like sand, the rust never sleeps
A life disconnected, the sorrow it keeps
In the ruins of yesterday, I search for my place
But I'm fading in shadows, lost in the race
The world keeps evolving, while I stand alone
A monument to progress, now weathered and worn
I feel the corrosion, the weight of decay
Rust in my spirit, it won't fade away
Rust in progress, the world moves on
A past left behind, while the present is gone
Rust in progress, no place to belong
I'm stuck in the silence, where progress feels wrong
And as the gears keep turning, I fall out of time
My soul feels the rust, as the world redefines
Once a piece of the puzzle, now just a trace
A whisper of life in this empty space
