Claw marks on the tanglebox The only sign I gave a fight And even though my heart is racing I wonder if Im still alive This empty shell was once a man Filled with hunger and drive Wrapped up in self denial With wounded pride where the hatred thrived Now I find myself On the precipice of a broken dream Staring at the void that stares back at me It penetrates me Deep in myself theres a hole inside from this shattered life Deep in myself where the shadows fight and eclipse the light Hurt by the trace of an old memory Old delusions reveal false realities Cut from a semblance of real happiness Falling deeper still from my humanity Crossing the fine line to complacency All of my hopes and dreams fall around me Its all just so easy to give in to doubt And the choices here could mean everything Deep in myself theres a hole inside from this shattered life Deep in myself where the shadows fight and eclipse the light Deep in myself I can reason out any fear or doubt Deep in myself I can trivialize what they feel inside now Whatever happened to the way things used to be? When the days of my youth were ahead of me Somewhere along the way they lost their view of the finish And the choices mean everything Somewhere along the way is a place called hopefulness That only exists in my mind
