These Thousand Miles

I've walked these thousand miles I've walked before

And I'm staring at the dark puddles that I've passed before

I'm crying in these shadows I've cried in before

I'm slipping into darkness that I've met before

And I'm not breathing in this place, for fear of my soul

these thousand miles I shall walk alone

so i better get started or ill never finish

but my prize is unknown, is there one?

these silver plumes of my breath the only motion

my whimper the only sound I hear

look to the stars and wish for these thousand miles to be with a presence, to be with a cause

around me the world has a creed

but its a hollow thousand miles
