I have found myself lost
Walking down these familiar streets,
Those strange faces stare blindly

I withdraw into my mind
In this solitude, it is sadness I find


In lament, I live a lie
I long to live, yet hope to die?


Eyes window the pain
Contained in me
Face masks the torment

You will never, ever see

Enclosed within these walls

They've muted all my cries
Trapped alone in darkness
I never felt alive

Then I briefly saw the light
A fools paradise
I felt the sun's warm rays

When you gave me back my life

But now that dusk i near

Lost again, I find
I'm back in those dark woods,
Although now I've seen the light

Although it shone so brief
It cleansed through my mind
But as a fire soon burns out

All the hope I had has died

I walked through the shady graves

Buried beneath the mire
Not a single soul can be saved
In weariness, I tire

Oh, how I long to live!
Yet I hope? to die.
