The Shadowlit Realms
| Labyrinth of the Mind |
Tarnished PearlTarnished Pearl
I'll shut myself
in my box again
steel myself
I have been here before
a thousand times
I'll never break
nor crack
I should have known
it would come to this
so I return back
to the cold
They never stay
they always go
but it is the fate
of my soul
So I can shut the door
and redefine my cage
these bars are my friends
hard to the touch
none can penetrate
I've laughed at myself
in those hidden depths
of truth
so perhaps I've asked
for this
But I plead no excuse
I can stand for myself
while I watch the shadows
pass
Memories fade
and I can begin to erase
I am like ore
hard and rough
while I hide myself
behind this shell and the words
of a distant past
echo in my mind...
