Surrounded by my past I try to see Visions of deceit overwhelm me In my mind's eye I search for the truth Hauntings of beauty seek to fool me How I long to break free I try to cling to the truth Elusive and ethereal though it is Desperately do I fight to hold on But the rending of my heart drowns me Suffocating in hearts blood Wishing I could take it all back But I am held by a chain maid of time Gasping I try to breathe in hope Even harder to obtain than truth Still though I struggle to retake my life My own memories played false I question the very foundation of my soul Wondering how I came to this Clarity comes from a long denied truth Terror fills me as I come face to face with the eyes of the specter It gazing back into my horror filled eyes I see the man I once knew as myself
