Departed
What Dreams lie in the hearts of the lost?
How many times must they pay the cost?
I can not amend, this who I am
No one is left, last taken by a friend
My weakened soul by the grace of another
To nothing it matters I’m sorry to bother
I drift onto the day, as it comes to show
Your life must stay and I blithely will go
All is left is what it pays
A lifeless heart alone it stays
I find my way departed
Heartless but still breathing
Too much I ask, Why is this the way
Who have I hurt, what have I done
Is this the curse that runs my life?
Fought and lost too many times
Alone I walk, this thin path I chose
Only one can help, and the truth arose
I see the dust as they burn away
I hide my pain as I try each day
I look in the mirror and I begin to fear
The sound of truth, am I really here
This flame of trust has burned its days
I see this happen yet there are no other ways
All is left is what it pays
A lifeless heart alone it stays
I find my way departed
Heartless but still breathing
Too much I ask, Why is this the way
Who have I hurt, what have I done
Is the curse that runs my life
Fought and lost too many times
