Bondage

Lost in shadows where fear has taken captive of me,

Forever in bondage by my failures and my iniquities.

The way I see it, my hopes will forever remain worthless dreams,

And I’ll never be free of the burdens my life has given to me.

In mornings, I sing songs of fortune and opportunity,

But who am I to kid, I am a fool way beyond my means.

Then nights, it casts the reality I’ve begged my soul not to see,

And the tiresome body that holds me together

Falls apart into three.

Leaving all that's left of me:

My empty soul, my torn mind and my lifeless body.
