A Path To Nowhere

Days grow long and longer as the walls feel closer

Vessel breaking creates prison out of one's own mind

Futile are horizons on a path to nowhere

Vessel breaking, commence plotting

Each day cold feet fade away

One spark moving closer to a plan that throws the key away forever

Each step motions closer to a plan to lock the door behind forever

Calculating every inch of every move with such care

Window open, invitation away from this world

Hourglass is pushing sand towards this commitment so soon

Window open, bravely marching

Each day cold feet fade away

Towards a realm unknown

One spark moving closer to a plan that throws the key away forever

Each step motions closer to a plan to lock the door behind forever

Gone

Into a strange new realm unknown and frightening

Familiar faces all left behind

Lifting off weight unseen to those surrounding

Yet not knowing what's inflicted on those left behind
