I sit here now in a shadowed sanctuary Once, blissful and exploding with fruitful colors Now, a splattered inkblot blocking every path. My map is a simple one I travel from place to place with a clear head. Now blackened from mistakes, I aimlessly wander through tunnels Created by Dashing Demons. Like Alice, I fell Into the rabbit hole I’m Timmy stuck in the well No Lassie to save me I failed her No rope to climb I burned it No ladders No steps Just bare hands Broken and bleeding from the fall I scratch at the smooth dark walls Slipping and sliding from the condensation I start to sweat The salt burns my eyes I break I die Alone in the dark, my soul will stray Screaming for all of the help I threw away.

Left Behind
I sit here now in a shadowed sanctuary Once, blissful and exploding with fruitful colors Now, a splattered inkblot blocking every path. My map is a simple one I travel from place to place with a clear head. Now blackened from mistakes, I aimlessly wander through tunnels Created by Dashing Demons. Like Alice, I fell Into the rabbit hole I’m Timmy stuck in the well No Lassie to save me I failed her No rope to climb I burned it No ladders No steps Just bare hands Broken and bleeding from the fall I scratch at the smooth dark walls Slipping and sliding from the condensation I start to sweat The salt burns my eyes I break I die Alone in the dark, my soul will stray Screaming for all of the help I threw away.
