My path is like a tunnel
cold and dark and bleak
I have to make it somehow though
to find out what I seek.
All around it's cold as steel
everything I touch
I look for warmth, I search for
light, I need this oh so much.
The tunnel is a part of hell
my soul screams out in pain
as deep within the abyss I go
never sure I will return again.
Every step and every move
seems more and more obscure
I lose my grip, again I fall
no more am I secure.
The darkness like a swirling mist
it's presence suffocates me so
and holds me very tight
as I then begin to think
it;s here I'll always stay as
it's too far in to the distance if
there was ever a way.
Out of this prison, as
oppression pulls me down
I'm sinking, nearly gone now
it's too late to be found
suddenly the mist begins to
swirl away from me, here
there is a void, a space
somewhere that I can see
for one fleeting moment
a second but in time
realization comes to me
escape it could be mine
if I move but slowly always
straight ahead in time
I must find an end to this
prison that is mine.
Strength has not deserted me
it's here inside of me
as long as I do not give up
it will set me free
far from this dark place from hell
a nightmare it will always be
one day I'll find the rainbow
and then I will know me...
