It's all so clear to me now   A fraction of the man I used to be   For every breath I take draws in the fear   Only I know that the worst is yet to come   I live in a dark world, where no light shines through   I carry this burden with every step I take   Thrust myself into a new days end   And focus on the hour glass, to help pass the time   Day to day I push myself on   My facade can fool the strongest mind   And my loved ones can only watch from afar   A single mirror to view the void   Tragic yesterdays, and unseen futures sleep   Footprints in the blood from my wounded heart   My dark world is where I call home   Until the day comes, and the light calls my name   My arcane cell is covered in resent   I never asked for any of this   I follow the path which leads me to nothing   Searching for my smile I lost long ago   I stand alone in the company of none   Cheated by reality, philosopher of the gray   A brave inner child stands strong in refuse   A treasure of impurity will find a way to breed
