Falling to the sin
nothing is as it seems
realities unstable
Wandering alone
hoping for a dream
but living in a fable
Hope is too far, too far away
just beyond the grasp
Beg and plead and scream
in return, get nothing that you ask
But you pray to wake up somewhere else
Words of ink on paper
mean nothing to the lost
No law or rule or reason
Laughable excuse
adding to the cost
Existing in righteous treason
And in the end
blood flows free
Draining life; a steady stream
The dead eye is the one that sees
Then you wake up somewhere else
What is life?
Just one experience after another
Dying again and again and again
A feeding rage
That festers underneath the cover
from the time before the end
A feeling, a desire, over and over again
It’s best to be alone
in a world that’s but a cage
land and sky, a broken home
And I wake up somewhere else…
