Pace the ground that I've unearthed Until it's hard as stone Feeble feet lead endlessly on At peace with what they couldn't know And once my pulse starts stirring I strain to make out what's ahead My heart is weak but hurried, hurried Now that tunnelled light is drawing in Shadows bleed the brilliance And my unsteady hands fall victim to Searching eyes with sight untrue Tracing back the path I left Too afraid to take the next step I strain to make out what's ahead Safe inside the lines that I had carved before Finding fear in what I didn't know But as I start to press ahead of where I stand What little sight I had to fall Now that tunnelled light is drawing in Shadows bleed the brilliance And my unsteady hands fall victim to Searching eyes with sight untrue Tracing back the path I left Too afraid to take the next step Through what I'm not prepared for Sights I can't unsee The hurt there is no cure for Mischievous misery That hides right around the corner Waiting just for me Betting that I break down Betting that I'll leave When the tunnelled light is drawing in Shadows bleed the brilliance And my unsteady hands fall victim to Searching eyes with sight untrue Tracing back the path I left Too afraid to take the next step To blind and dilating light Every facet clarified Attenuating to my view Signs of life If only I could keep breaking from the path I've kept Unafraid to take the next step
