Journey's End

So this is what I'm fighting for

A thousand shards across the floor

I've finally reached my journey's end, but

I don't feel the glow again

I have let ambition drive me to the deepest depths of hell

Falling for the lie that I'll feel whole by chasing something mystical

And maybe I'm enlightened by the touch of this gemstone

But at the end of the day, I'm still on my own

This entire time, I had formed my well-being around an illusion

A warm light with infinite promise of filling a void

But at my journey's end

When I finally embraced what I chased for so long

I felt

Nothing

I have let ambition drive me to the deepest depths of hell

Falling for the lie that I'll feel whole by chasing something mystical

And maybe I'm enlightened by the touch of this gemstone

But at the end of the day, I'm still on my own

I've wasted all my days in searching for a miracle

Even when I held it in my arms, my heart still felt invisible

But maybe I'll inspire fire

From some lonely soul

To push on through the journey of their own

Oh, of their—

(I've finally found my—)

But at the end of the day, I'm still on my own

And maybe I'm enlightened by the touch of this gemstone

But at the end of the day

I'm still on my own
