The road was very cloudy,
Still I marched on.
Following a bitter, but inspiring song.
And at the end of roads,
I’d give all that is left in me,
To drive away these thoughts
Of insanity.

My path was uncertain,
My direction unsure.
My feet had grown accustomed
To the pain they’d endured.
And as my footing faltered,
My courage stayed upright.
‘Cause I knew I’d come too far
To give up this time.

But the journey’s far from over,
And hope is far away.
So I’ll save all of my courage
For another day.
‘Cause even without darkness
I am blinded just the same.
So I’ll hold on to what’s left
And pray the rest is not insane.

So I’ll choose to cast away,
My methods of escape.
And though they tempt me on,
The choice is mine to make.
‘Cause if I stay I will not find
The change I need to see,
To rid myself these thoughts
Of insanity.

But the journey’s far from over,
And hope is far away.
So I’ll save all of my courage
For another day.
‘Cause even without darkness
I am blinded just the same.
So I’ll hold on to what’s left
And pray the rest is not insane.

But the journey’s far from over,
And hope is far away.
So I’ll save all of my courage
For another day.
‘Cause even without darkness
I am blinded just the same.
So I’ll hold on to what’s left
And pray the rest is not insane.
(The rest is not insane)

Don’t wait, you cannot save me.
I won’t stay, you’ll only break me.
Don’t wait, you cannot save me.
I won’t stay, you’ll only bring me pain.

But the journey’s far from over,
And hope is far away.
So I’ll save all of my courage
For another day.
‘Cause even without darkness
I am blinded just the same.
So I’ll hold on to what’s left
And pray the rest is not insane.

The night is falling soon,
I haven’t got a shelter made.
My thoughts deceive me,
I’m addicted to their ways.
I run in circles trying to find a better way,
To break out of the cell they’ve placed me in,
But here I remain.

I trust in fleeting things, no wonder they all run away,
I trust my instincts though they seem to always lead astray,
It’s funny how pleasure runs a thin line with shame,
So I’ll just watch as my ambitions bow to failure’s new reign.

My mind was made for greater things, why do I choose this path,
The answers found in a creator I would never ask,
My shame enveloping my actions ‘til they all collapse,
Insanity, it shadows any light I could have grasped.

And I’m letting my guilt start to define me,
It’s hard to move forward when I’m still facing what’s behind me,
And though I’m self-aware of sin that’s taking over slowly,
Catering these lusts has always been the thing to blind me.

And that’s why I’m starting to fall for my dreams.
They seem to live this life that I thought I was meant to lead.
They seem to dance this line between my wishes
And what’s real to me.
And if I say they’re right,
Then I am dead to rights
Of what happens in this reality

I’m starting to peer through the seams
Of this constructed shell of me.
It’s sewn together ruggedly,
The scrapwork of my destiny.
There must be something more for me,
But every time I question, I am lessened
To the point of insanity.

Be tame my spirit, for I need you to be worthy.
I am tired of returning to the urges of my body.
I’m dirty, I run to things that only seem to hurt me
While still claiming I want more
For the same soul that will deter me.

Be strong my beating heart,
You have endured more shameful things than this,
And I insist we mark ourselves for war,
Enlist into this battle we have created
With our own self-indulgent bliss.
Perhaps we have been created
For so much more than all of this.
