I watch the footsteps of those who pass by
Through the hazy gray of remembrance
I pause in reflection to clear my eyes
Even though I’m devoid of emotion
I fight back the urge to cry
These feet traverse the same destination
Of those who passed before
Still its hard to suppress the consternation
Echoes of those yet to come
Haunt me now from no location
There seems to be few reasons left to give
For the answers to questions fail
To tell me why we all must live,
Nothing left to remind us
Simply nothing more to give
That old feeling of fear comes back to me
With a grip of icy hands
To close about my throat, then I see
The muffled voices warning
So I retract again and let it be
Closing my mind to every earthly thing
Looking down at those feet
In a puddle I see a golden ring
But there’s no desire left
Because there’s a winter for every spring
And there was in it a reflection fading fast
I couldn’t quite make it out
The lines of reality will not last
Until I finally realize
From this world what has just passed

This one is kind of hard to understand, but It think I made it through okay.
I love these lines:

Echoes of those yet to come
Haunt me now from no location

"I'm just me, trapped in a body."
