Torn
Stare out into the distance
A future unfolding beyond
Standing between
Your conscience and your goals
Unable to find the balance
Unyielding to fall
Desperately seeking, solace in advice
Atonement, redemption
Inviting they entice
Longing for answers to give unto yourself
Patience in the maelstrom
Let truth reveal itself
Keeping back your desire
Let the yearning take a hold
I survived but lost it all
My fortune left to fade
Ignoring those who force their way
Stubborn to my last dying breath
Feeding your burning senses
This world is at your finger tips
Embrace the changes
Feel the wind upon your face
Waiting for it all to end
To shift this balance
Something has to give
Break this cycle
With our sweat and tears
The familiar pull beneath your feet
Limbs swinging heavy
Breath falling short
Keeping back your desire
Let the yearning take a hold
I survived but lost it all
My fortune left to fade out
Into the darkness
The light of her eyes
Meets your own
Stare out into the distance
A future unfolding beyond
Try to break your limit.
