Breath, and search your mind
Your vision clouds in a fuming rage
Hanging before you are the keys to reason
Kept in the clutches of the ones you loathe
Take the hands that tease and tempt
Your fragile yearning heart
In a stumbling daze, like a fleeting dream
Control slips from your grasp
Dull eyes that witness life tick by
Now shattered windows to an empty mind
Incessant screaming that has reached your core
Reaching the inner depths of your soul
Now your conscience further sinks
A shallow sense of dread
Pick up the pieces of your fragile mind
Or watch yourself drown as the apathy spreads
Are you drowning are you trying to swim?
Time is ticking, will you sink will you swim?
Conscience as clear as mud
These murky waters are stained with doubt
Dragged down by the weight of your lies
As you console yourself that all is right
Reason, now forsaken
Composure melts like a silly mirage
Swept from the feet, as you struggle to balance
Descend the slippery stairs of your growing insanity
This mind can suffer no more
Devoid of all but a hunger for hate
The time has come to break this vicious cycle of contempt that corrodes the mind and Soul
(When will I find peace inside)
Break these shackles of fear
And grind them to dust as you free your mind
Cast aside the reigns of fate and take what is rightfully yours
Blegh!
Someday we'll find, a greater view of life
What we used to hold so desperately, recedes from sight
And all that was grand, a distant memory
In a brilliant flash, all is gone, and slips from your mind
Someday we'll find, a greater view of life
What was previously a dire sight, is framed a new
With no end in sight, we reach forever more
We will never cease walking forwards until all is done
