The Furthest Corners

I took a leap of faith But what did it cost me Faith Step onto the ledge Faith Their talons tear me to shreds To wake Something new seems to startle Creeping air grows near Eager to follow My shame This guilt I'm carrying I'm over being under Guilt is one thing But plague is another I'm left with time What will I rediscover This spirit haunts me I'm told it's guiding me Must I venture past where I can see Is my resolve Faith, fear or stupidity My tortured innocence Weighs on me Just as the leaves fall from the trees I wilt, I wither away But it's not the end of me I fear everything That's yet to come my way While I sing in my dormant sanctuary To live with this guilt Or separate myself From their controlling hands I refuse the whispers No second glances This spirit haunts me I'm told it's guiding me Must I venture past where I can see Is my resolve Faith, fear or stupidity I found my way out of the valley I escaped from the belly of grief Broken my heart and my spine But after all I still came out alive I bear the weight You'll venture with me To the furthest corners of humanity I found the edge of the earth And I took a leap of faith
