Artificial

by shadow   Jul 2, 2016


I was once so sure of the path I'd take
Gripping as tightly as I could onto destiny's rope
Just trying to keep one hand in front of the other
As I climbed higher onto my pile of false hope

How was I supposed to find the exit
When I've been lost in here since the very start
I've been searching for a sign to point the way
Only to find that me and the world are still miles apart

How could I possibly belong
In a place so dark and so cold
In a world embraced by its own shadows it casts
While promoting riches from fool's gold
