No rest for the weary
No sleep for the wicked
This path must have been chosen
Because I damn sure didnt pick it
Did I volunteer
Or was I chosen
Perhaps in my sleep
While I dreamed
When my heart was still frozen
After I tried to save you from the vapid empty depths
Where your soul lived
where i gave all i could give
and then more than i possessed
and you promised to repay with the things you never had
but your obvious lies i didnt protest
Perhaps there
in those murky desolate remains
perhaps there is where I volunteered
myself
into these chains
my debt still unpaid
and my sacrifice squandered
i am loves eternal slave
destined to trudge the paths we both once wandered
or can i rise?
can i dare dream of one day walking again in the light
Without the cover of a disquise
Can I find redemption written in the night skies
Or are my stars no hope
And is my only salvation
Locked somewhere in your eyes
