Each step aches Pushing through mud like molasses Just to get where I'm going Just a breath A moment of reprieve But this, this is pain's space and time Not mine Days feel like months My temple crumbling around me Wavering and frail, even the wind shakes me This is pain's time, not mine The more I fight, the worse I feel So I lay down my angry heart In defeat, I have failed.

Sorrow's Piano
Each step aches Pushing through mud like molasses Just to get where I'm going Just a breath A moment of reprieve But this, this is pain's space and time Not mine Days feel like months My temple crumbling around me Wavering and frail, even the wind shakes me This is pain's time, not mine The more I fight, the worse I feel So I lay down my angry heart In defeat, I have failed.
