So much
Is far and gone from me
And still I fight
For my soul to be free
I've taken chances
Walked a dark road
Advice I never took
And in my mistakes it showed
Now here I stand
At this forked crossroad
I can drop all my fears
Look this new future in the face
Or forever run in darkness
While my demons I chase
I close my eyes
Open my thoughts
And nothing makes sense
The splinters dig deeper
The longer I stand on this fence
My legs are tired and broken
From these circles I've paced
While these voices in my head
Leave me to sigh in disgrace
If the decision I make
Is to go forth and succeed
It may be what will
Set my soul to be freed
Or it could bring more darkness
Leave me worse than before
This is why my mind
Is constantly at war
I need to make this choice
So my soul can finally soar.
