Road to Perdition

Route just so unclear Uncertain Drifting away Lost in a veil of thoughts Astray Drifting away The circle starts to mount itself As beginning turns to end While the walls are growing higher It's getting harder to escape In the center of my grief I am caught Out means in, I'm distraught Lost the view from above I am inside Look from bottom to top Nothingness in sight A veil of thoughts Drifting away Gray in all its shades Some fine indications of black Not a single color Is able to break through A barbed wire limits me Razor-sharp thorns attack my mind The hurt feeds my inner conflict A tower-like fortress locks me up No frames, no doors, no windows, bricked up No way to leave this solid prison This is my road to perdition The prison walls are closing in The prison walls are closing in Enwrapped in thoughts I shudder to think In the middle of a commanding eye I lose my voice The ability to express myself And the eye still gazes at me I realize I can't go on Because beginning turned to end Soul compliant, so sadistic In the center of my grief I am trapped Every step I do throws me back Lost the view from above I am below Can't reach for the top Caught in the undertow
