When I turn my head to look out the window,

When I look up and see the path ahead

Staring straight into the darkness and its bellow

With uncertainty and fear, the path I slowly tread

The clutches of my past slowly loosen, leaving me astray

The life I once had, left behind

The world I once knew begins to fade away

The joys I once had all in my mind

But that is life, ever moving forward

It does not stop and wait for the fallen

It will not praise the faithful with an award

Nor will it comfort the sullen

I fall to my knees as the darkness envelops

I clasp my head, trying to remain sane

Oh how the cold and pain develops

How I wish everything would remain the same
