traveled too far for an escape
lost in thick smoke
an angel in hell
forgot my name
floating on the styx

traveled too far for an escape
no new beginnings
a failed quest for redemption
flesh blood dripping
from the tip of my dagger
yours or mine?

traveled too far for an escape
met the demons
i was running away from
thick smoke filling my lungs
long exhale
cough
pain
and i start back from the beginning
shivers and cold sweats
if i play my cards right i might win the bet
for an eternity of blindness
i will let you pierce through me
your needles of truths

traveled too far for an escape
lost sight of the sun
replaced by a black sky
i sold my soul
for something true
to convince myself that i was still alive
that my wounds were healing
but i traveled too far for an escape
