It's all so clear to me now

A fraction of the man I used to be

For every breath I take draws in the fear



I live in a dark world, where no light shines through

I carry this burden with every step I take

Thrust myself into a new days end

And focus on the hour glass, to help pass the time



Day to day I push myself on

My facade can fool the strongest mind

And my loved ones can only watch from afar

A single mirror to view the void



Tragic yesterdays, and unseen futures sleep

Footprints in the blood from my wounded heart

My dark world is where I call home



My arcane cell is covered in resent

I never asked for any of this

I follow the path which leads me to nothing

Searching for my smile I lost long ago



Cheated by reality, philosopher of the gray

A brave inner child stands strong in refuse

A treasure of impurity will find a way to breed
