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 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 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 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
