Ever since I took my first breath I've felt a constant desolation

Immured by society, alone in the crowd

Unlovely outcast, a wolf among sheep

The human race I abhor

I peel off my skin, showing what's hidden within; the bleeding truth, a soul of solitude

Rooted in my heart is pure despise and demise

Despise for you and I, demise for all our lives

I've had enough of this theater called life; happy facades, a constant masquerade

Hypocrites and feeble minds

You are fools lost in a life based on lies

Blind leading the blind deeper into the abyss, I am not going down with you

I am leaving this life behind

Into the night, into the dark, searching for a reason to keep on struggling

Night is silent, night is cold

Rays of light reflects from the moon, casting shadows at the side of my path

I feel the presence of what my eyes can't see

Spirits guiding me away from civilization

The silence is broken

I hear voices calling

From far beyond, whispering my name

A flash of light in the dark, mysterious specters lures me deeper into the woods

Here is no path to follow, I gaze up to the sky, witnessing the stars align

They are my guide in the darkest of times and keeps my inner spirit burning

The ghosts of past appears, dragging me down into a wormhole

My hands are reaching for the sky, I tremble in fear

Suffocating in mud, losing my vision

Blindly drifting, lost track of time and space

Groping through the pitch black darkness, ancient branches grabs my limbs

Lifts me up to the surface, the forest and I unite

I see a lake behind the trees, the forest is opening up

The water will quench my thirst

As I reach with my hands to the water I see a reflection

It is showing an old man, it is me

Wrinkled, scarred, a dying man

Searched for a reason, found my grave

Many years have passed since I wandered away, I spent my life searching for a reason

Wasted time that never will be given back

Here I am at the end of my journey, slowly breathing, taking a last breath of air

Laying down in this shallow grave, cover myself with the fallen leaves

Decay into earth, closing my eyes, drifting away

Entering eternal sleep

To the other side
