A pernicious mind left confined Absent to a sense of time Light, blinding light Come back to fill these clouded, somber eyes My demise Was it providence and malevolence Intertwined? Rectified To keep these mistakes buried deep inside Just another night spent asking is this even real? A thousand days spent numbing things that I feel Something's not right I shut out the light I've become more hollow as the days go by Am I a failure for falling into this trap? A sense of purpose, one I'll never get back Am I a failure for falling into this trap? A sense of purpose, one I'll never get back Failure I'm a failure Not a failure Just a failure to comprehend Unwilling to make amends Fear, blinding fear Just another night spent asking is this even real? A thousand days spent numbing things that I feel Something's not right I shut out the light I've become more hollow as the days go by I shut out the light Am I a failure for falling into this trap? A sense of purpose, one I'll never get back
