Footsteps

Can you hear them?These aren't just steps, they're a sentence.

Scare.What time is it?What's left to believe?And who are you now?A burden you can't relieve.For mom and dad, for the ones long gone, for those who suffered when the world was wrong.Wrong, loose words, fake lines You want me but not this timeYou're not my sky, not my light, not my sea You're not the one who could carry meI see someone's tracks in the dust I walk that path paved with trustDon't follow the trail I madeIt's a road that cuts, it doesn't fadePain and fear, no sleep till dawnTears in your eyes, the soul is gone

Footsteps

One thought keeps banging in your headWhy'd you follow where I bled?Dark are the nights, darker the daysYou don't want life just drift and decayYou lost your purpose long beforeTruth is you never knew what forThe pain won't leave till it eats your coreThere's no way back, just one doorIf you walk it, you're bound to breakIf you walk it, it's your last mistakeAnd no one will remember your name
