Creeping down the narrow way
through the dankness of the cave
deep within my mind I leave
droppings of my ill conceived
a trail of tears and echoed jeers
yellow diamonds of my fears
doubts of sparkles left behind...
the trail I leave I'll never find.

Can I find my way back home?
Is the presence that I fear, my own?
Is this just one tired tread
and why should truth be something dread?
    Am I a figment of my mind?
    Can I leave the past behind?
    Am I wandering aimlessly
    on circled road's eternity?

I only walk, 'cause I can't rest--
and sleep these days resembles death.
When I stop I hear the steps
of my own relentlessness...

"When I stop I hear the steps
of my own relentlessness..."

Maybe that's why I keep moving.
