A Path To Nowhere

Days grow long and longer as the walls feel closer
Vessel breaking creates prison out of one's own mind
Futile are horizons on a path to nowhere
Vessel breaking, commence plotting

Each day cold feet fade away

One spark moving closer to a plan that throws the key away forever
Each step motions closer to a plan to lock the door behind forever

Calculating every inch of every move with such care
Window open, invitation away from this world
Hourglass is pushing sand towards this commitment so soon
Window open, bravely marching

Each day cold feet fade away
Towards a realm unknown

One spark moving closer to a plan that throws the key away forever
Each step motions closer to a plan to lock the door behind forever

Gone
Into a strange new realm unknown and frightening
Familiar faces all left behind
Lifting off weight unseen to those surrounding
Yet not knowing what's inflicted on those left behind
