Will there ever be a place in this world for someone like me?
I'm drifting along, going unnoticed by most of the people I see
I am hopelessly lost like you
Is there nothing any of us can do?
I have watched as my youth is destroyed in exchange for this aging corpse of mine
A future I've wasted away and pissed down the drain for a fleeting moment in time
I gaze upon the stars in the sky
Reaching out to catch one as it falls
Luck has eluded my grasp so far
But I'm determined not to miss them all
In a planet so vast and unexplored
Somewhere out there is a key
If I search every corner of the earth
Will it reveal itself to me?
Stranded in the company of devils
Homesick for a world I've never seen before
Sentenced to die and slowly decay
It would be foolish to expect there's anything more
I gaze upon the graves of my brothers
I read the names of the ones I have failed
Some suffered a terrible fate
For in the end none can prevail
I wonder if they found peace at the end
Or discovered what is buried inside
Were secrets revealed and the truth really told
When they said their final goodbyes?
Led astray by the word of the blind
Who stood on the shoulders of far greater men
Those who won't eat the opinions they're fed
Will be cast out and through to the wolves in the end
Are we losing our minds?
Or just losing our way?
Is this really the end...for us all?
I felt depression sink its teeth into my soul
Made myself a martyr to recover what they stole
Sleeping sickness, functions are disengaged
Energy exhausted, just a working slave
Since the curse of my creation I have felt the blade being thrust into my back
Imperfect saviour, cast the first stone at me
A thousand failures before my final victory
For every time I wished that I would die, another part of me was glad to be alive
I told myself I had to walk away even though it was me who made the choice to stay
Just when I had reached my lowest point yet I had a revelation I will not forget
My mind and soul must be synchronized in will
My heart will fall in line when fortune is fulfilled
A million methods used to walk a thousand miles away
The further that I went the less inclined I felt to stay
I knew that spreading pain wouldn't help my heart absorb the hurt
After all it's not so great a distance from the playground to the dirt
No story ever ends the same way it began
A human without flaws was never within the plans
No way to read the future though this is my tale to tell
The pages tend to turn themselves
Welcome to the end of everything
