This departure from the weeks of darkness
Somehow adoration turned to ashes in my mouth
I can't claim any hate but these are the opened eyes
They can see blame for someone other than oneself
Not that they're gone, the feelings of worthlessness
Habit of locking eyes and always seeing black
For growing without confidence how could you get it back?
But at least there this one roadblock cleared out of way
This decision is not from my heart or my soul
But I do believe it is now something I have to take
Emotional dead-ends recently have seem to lost their charm
Irony lies heavy-handed on my crooked back
It's hard to rise again from the pit you dug for yourself
Home is where the heart lies and hands grasp the earth
Under these winds the future may seem unconcievable
But at least now there may be something worth the wait
