A Drawn Out Exit

So burn the trail and keep the flames alight
Before the end appears inside the haze
Bare the shadow cast from journey's end
The final curtain falls, there's nothing there.

Without a trace
We lie in wait again.

You lost the will to feel
And take the highs and lows for granted
Or am I wasting all my time when I know this is different?
I know, I know, I know.

Far away and out of our reach
Our broken ways abandoned long ago
Freed inside the walls of your design
Non-conforming, wavering alone.

A drawn out
Exit from the norm.

You lost the will to feel
And take the highs and lows for granted
Is this wasted on the numb knowing this won't make a difference?
I know, I know, I know.

Is there bliss in resisting
The fortune of feelings we hold?
The sharp edges that determine our shape
The scars that now expose the pain
Our broken bodies speak of triumph
Our face reveals what should be known
Yet, you burn the trail
Burn.

You lost the will to feel
And take the highs and lows for granted
Or am I wasting all my time when I know this is different?
I know, I know, I know.
