I felt myself get swept away,
My feet taken from beneath me,
No foundation, No higher ground,
There lay no path,
The incarcaration of a blind man,
All lamps had fallen, lost their glow,
Living redemption halted,
Delusions of grandeur were left behind,
Pure hearts diseased,
Tomorrow vanished,
Leaving an untouchable essence,
Pawing, grasping, reaching for the void,
Rediscover me,
Victim of displaced hope,
Child of silenced rage,
Hold me to a perfection,
Fear without faith,
Efficiency, sufficiency, consistancy flawed,
My weakness surveils as I fall to the floor,
Bowed my head and secured my rest,
I was swept away.
