Lights shine down, sweat drips
Just like the words stumbling out
Forming a rickety bridge
Only to burn away, into ashes
Obstacles have never seemed so high
Darkness consuming every dream that dared to die
Doubt the gravediggers of all the buried hope
Left to hold on to a severed rope
Failure fills the room
Can’t breathe, can’t escape
Drowning in this air
Only frustration seeping through
Wings clipped, thrown into this abyss
Never thinking of anything that could be missed
Lost and broken, barely shambling forward
Turned blind, forgotten to be heard
Rage, despair, sorrow
Piling up from deep within
Sparks begin to fly
A small bud of heat, to combat a freezing heart
