I embark on a journey for my soul
Across frozen wastelands I travel
Into torrent waters I wade
To find my own reflection
To discover my path
I follow the crows
On this journey
I must find
What is
True,
This
Mission
Must not fail
I need to know
I have to find out
Should I be feeding flies
Was I always marked for life
I am trapped in the in-between
Am I where I was supposed to live
Because I have even lost my shadow,
I have no choice but to do this myself
I need to find the door into my soul
Searching to find myself I remain
Sightless through my open eyes
The truth hides within lies
This is my last chance
Nothing else left
Will I find
My own
Name?
I'm
Sitting
In the dark
Hoping for more
Wishing for someone
To heal my fractured soul
Lamenting the chances missed
To grab completion with both hands
Staggering down the road to my grave
I drank the drink of the broken hearted,
I look for truth from my own prison cell
Unbreakable bars made by my heart
Will the time come when I am free
In these four walls I will break
My dying mind straining
My abused heart stops
I tempted fate
Tried my luck
And I
Lost,
Gone
For good
Died a slave
Serving the cruel
The fenzied beatings
The only thanks received
Name set in stone as broken
Lived in chains expired the same
Childhood dreams lost inside my story
I embraced my own crushing destruction.
