I awakened as a child Thrust into the jaws of destiny Infantile and naïve To this world on the brink I'm petrified in the grasp of mortal fear I'm terrified of the dangers creeping near Who am I to deny my primal weakness? Will I die? Is there light beyond the darkness? The others I see that look like me Do they even think or speak? Plagued by doubt, I struggle on To find the answers I seek I was born from nothing Forced into existential being Am I human or something else? Just a puppet on a string? I can't go on like this I don't want to feel this anymore How do you prove that you exist? What if we don't exist? The battle must go on This war within, it must be won But I won't let it take control My future is mine alone And when it's time to die My memories will be part of the sky
