A paved path was placed before me
A road that was tried and tested
yet still i was drawn to the great unkown
to path no man had bested

A guide was placed in front of me
A map was drawn on sand
yet still I chose the dim,dark path
I chose a no man's land

A trail, I had to follow
All I had was to take the steps
the stones were laid there just for me
I needed not waste a breath

one small step was all it took
to deviate me from my way
one small misstep was all it took
to steer myself away

The further down I walked the darkness
the more I felt estranged
the more I felt unsure of myself
the more I felt deranged

And Now I strive to find the light
through the thorns ive trapped myself in
And now I strive to keep my strength
through struggles I have within

I now find myself wishing
I had never strayed from the rail
and though I know it's a long road ahead
I'll believe I could prevail

I've forced myself unto a path
that truly was alluring
though the path, in the end was not so pretty
it was a path I was indulging

For through that path I realized
All of life's simple joys
yet was through that path's pain I realized
the life that I had destroyed
