Lake of Fire

My pulse is pounding

I'm weighed down by doubt's persistence

I'm wondering if I'm headed anywhere

I've got no sense of direction

But that's my burden to bare

I've spent my whole life chasing

Images out on the horizon

But the image I chase

Is the one that always seems to fade

But you won't see me crumbling under

Under the weight of what I can't escape

Now I feel my finger around the trigger

I'm out of touch with the common man

I'm pounding pavement, yeah, I'm on a mission

To put the world in the palm of my hand

What's the sense and purpose

When I loathe all I see?

Put my hands up and blot them out

Peace is distance from my surroundings

But you won't see me running backwards

Or begging for a clean slate

If you spoke to me

I'd whisper words so heavy

They'd crush your dreams just as quick as they come to be

'Cause after you've done

All that you can

You'll be god-damned and just stand

In the lake of fire

In the lake of fire
