A dream within a dream while drifting from home to hell
Forever known but hoped it would never end up this way
Carried by a one way sign along the road I follow

The skies are endless but cloudy while the air fades grey
Shaded in the quiet reflections of a past life I once knew
The scene never changes until the end nears

This empty heart so deeply drained and attuned to dysphoria
The street cracked and lonely waited silently as I passed by
Into the next world I continued without knowing

There was no wind for me to feel, no sound for me to hear
Like a wandering spirit, I disappeared

There were only faces to my sins, faces to my fears
Like a wandering spirit, I disappeared

I'm really starting love your work. Everything I've read so far has this over cast feeling to it that accompanies each thoughtful concept very, very well. So resolute and endless...*BRAVO*~DW~
