I’ve been walking for some time,

Now there’s a mountain too steep to climb

Too steep even with the right gear,

This is ridiculous, impossible says my fear

Just turn back you did your best, says my mind

But I don’t plan on turning back, don’t dare to look behind

The temperature is falling, I feel their breath in my neck

I pretend to be better, but inside I’m still a wreck


I now free-climb this rocky hill,

One mistake and it’s over, fighting against the will

To simply stop climbing, I want to let go

At least I’ll feel free for a second or two,

Before hitting the sharp and pointy spears below

Maybe this is it, maybe that I’ll do.



The mountain gets steeper, 
And steeper again,

I already see the reaper,
Or am I going insane?

Insane I still am, for this rock is not climbed,

But I only have my eyes to guide me,

For my mind is completely blind.



You’re the reason I climb, friend

Your illness might just mean my end

But I won’t be able to live without you,

I’m sorry, I don’t have what it takes to go through

I’m now falling, as it starts to pour rain,

“Finally, thank you.” I hear from my brain

My friend, finally I understand

We’ll finally be rid of this, but not really as planned

We were meant to work together, friend

But you lured me into climbing, and now I near the end

I squint my eyes and make out not a single spear,

Those who haunted me are waiting, I already hear

Their dark, low voices, shouting that they’ll capture me

Leave me alone, don’t capture me. I’m now, for once,

Finally free.



Just when there should be light, there’s none

Where am I now, is it all done?

Did I finally do it, are the voices all gone?

Then one starts to laugh, I can’t believe it, come on

I get back up on my feet and my vision pulls into focus

To find myself back at the start, this journey is hopeless

I’ll have to walk those miles once more,

The first step I try and then fall to the floor

I look down and spot both my legs are broken

You thought that would leave no scars? 

Oh, you must be joking.

To fall back down from such a height,

Even further away from a sprinkle of light

The mountain casts a shadow over this path all day

Please tell me, to the light, is there another way?



My skin is desperate, it is so pale,

Because you sir, missed a tiny detail

Every time I peacefully try to take a shortcut

Another door in this tiny room, somebody throws it shut

The darkness takes the rest

It even creeps in through the keyhole,

I might need a life vest

To prevent myself from drowning,
In this mixture of darkness and rain

It fills up this tiny room,
I simply can’t stand the pain

It fills my lungs, my veins and head

Until I then turn blue,

Is it finally over then, please tell it to be true

The room is drained, I hear a voice

He whispers “This is easy.”

I crash back down onto the floor,

My breath it sounds so wheezy

My body is tired, it’s through, it’s done

All I ever wanted was seeing the sun

Feeling it’s warmth, seeing the light

Instead I keep falling and I just write,

Again.



This journey takes too long,

Ran out of supplies, they’re all gone

I won’t survive out here all alone

I shouldn’t have tried, I should’ve known

That this path, goes on for eternity

There is no end, I’m filled with uncertainty

There is an end, but I can’t see

I can’t decide that, It’s not up to me

I’ll just keep walking, don’t try to fight

I’ll see the sun again, when the time is right

Maybe not ever, maybe I’ll keep walking

With behind me those who chase, they’re talking

How they like their home, they vandalize

Destroy everything they can, at any prize

Windows smashed, walls are cracked

And the neighbours, they get attacked

I hear pounding on the door, they’re back again

I snap and then shout “PLEASE, WHEN?!”

When will you leave, you keep hurting me

Just unlock the door, just set me free

Free from this path, free from this door

I can’t walk on for long anymore

I’ll have to crawl, just to continue

Know it is pointless, that’s not the issue

I just want you to see me try

For you my friend, this is goodbye.
