Life Askew
I'm just a clone in this reality
An empty vessel on the sea
Darkness coming from the light
It never does say very bright
My heart beating like a drum
The faceless enemy making me numb
Feeding the fire that's inside
I guess I can say that I've tried
The haunting walls all around me
Years later and I'm still not free
Free to leave this space for good
All I can do is pull up this hood
Living in a hollow shell
How long, only time will tell
Melting away this wax cocoon
Smiling a hindrance rather than boon
This is not what I need
All I want is to be freed
I am destined to fall
Just to walk down a dark, empty hall
I promise that I will fail
To the dark world I will hail
I will continue try and try
Although I'm not quite sure why
From a young child to a hollow man
I've done all it is that I can
I welcome to my life all the danger
It is a part of me and is no stranger
I'll pay my toll at the gate
I may as well accept this fate
Until I find there's no way through
I'm just waiting in an endless queue
