My head is hurting
From all the wondering
How can I go on
After everything is gone
One by one the links break
The picture disappears
So do the fears
Overwhelmed I’m numb

Thru life I will wonder
Down the path of failure
A foot before the other
Going on with no care
A destination with no one there
But a voice says it isn’t fair

Suppressing, can’t face the healing
Running, cause it’s not worth staying
Careless, nothing is worth saving
Living cause its not my time for dying

Feeling so empty
Yet it’s so heavy
But deep inside I hear the voice
The voice that doesn’t give up
The eyes that don’t recognize the man in the mirror
The heart trying to beat thru the clutter

A part wants to get better
But I see no reason to try harder
Unmotivated, why should I go further
Nothing left from the past
The future seems even dimmer

Thru life I will wonder
Down the path of failure
A foot before the other
Going on with no care
A destination with no one there
But a voice says it isn’t fair

As it cries out its last whisper
Just before it drowns within
Something happens there’s a glimmer
Just a spark to light the dark
But it catches, it explodes
In an instance I’m lost in the flames

I wake to the sound of a voice
The words are my own
The whisper is now laughter
The lost has been found
The veil has been burnt to the ground
Saved by that sound
