Stepping through the night Drift beyond the hands of time I try to feel what still Remains but gone A distant thought The shape begins to rot From the dark depths I watch myself depart in vain Sun shatters my brittle shield Hope is lost, yet bound within Soul retreats to fractured hills And I dissolve where meaning thins I tear the thread that kept me sane And watch my thoughts dissolve in maze Life turns pale in my reflection Bound forever in self-dissection My memories doubt The night desolate I whisper only lies To hide my scars The self divides The trees collapse I touch the edge of sanity And lose myself in gritty lines Sun shatters my brittle shield Hope is lost, yet bound within Soul retreats to fractured hills And I dissolve where meaning thins I tear the thread that kept me sane And watch my thoughts dissolve in maze Life turns pale in my reflection Bound forever in self-dissection
