A Legend in your OWN MIND

clifford_1972

Life is a restraint, and
everyone is your shackles.
Everyone is your bounds.

Light hurts your eyes, but
only because you have tears.
The Light refracts.

Do you need to start over?
Run from your past?
Crawl to your future.

To be a Prince at heart, and
deny the pauper.
Life would be gold.

Instead, find your happiness
here and now.
Be the King of your time.

If I stand here silent
at any time of day
I can hear the hounds calling
calling me away
You see just beyond my realm
there's an endless sea of black
it's filled with drowning souls
but to them I turn my back
Their cries truly pierce my ears
and beat within my heart
Because I know their pain to well
and we're not that far apart
But I leave them there to cry
screaming from the pain
I know that many are dying
dying all in vain
But I can't go back to help them
because they'll pull me in
Instead I just freeze my heart
and ignore the screaming men
By the time they start drowning
I simply do not care
My escape was permanent
from that sea of black despair
So now it's onward that I walk
into the endless night
I leave the screams behind me
because it's not my fight
Maybe I'm cold and evil
but my fight still roars within
and if I turn back now
I know I'll drown again
So please forgive me
you poor souls in that hell
I simply can not help you
I'm just an empty shell...
