The Sentient

Before me all I see
Is a dream that's fading away
A ring of smoke
The oath is broken
Before me all I see
Is a strength that kept me alive
And now it's the source of my self-destruction
Before me all I see
Is a dream that's fading away
A trail of thorns in my direction

Each day I taste the bitterness of my tears
Your own words are like razors
Cutting, slowly, my wrists

Before me stands the strength that kept me alive
Like everything else
This oath is broken
Before me all I see
Is a dream that's fading away
A crown of thorns in my crucifixion

Across the stream
I'm lost at sea
My ship sinks slowly into the deep
I'm drifting away
My only wish,at least,
Is a candle light
So I can find my way

Can someone see me here?
Can someone hear my name?
I feel so cold and I'm wrapped in chains
My desire is a cure for this pain
