Expedition

I never knew the world could turn so fast and feel so small
A thousand hopes gave way to silence and now I feel still
You promised me a home, but gave me just a shell
And each step I take becomes another kind of spell
I’m lost between the past and future
Chains of time are pulling me under
I’ve carried all these stories
Written in my skin, a self-forgotten creature

Words I cannot say
Trapped inside my brain
Running from the blame
Burn the shame
Hopping for a change
I walked through the flame but the cold still finds my soul
Fell the freezing soul
Let it flow
Steel and shadow define the role

Blade in my hand
Bound to my name
Stripped of all my pride
Falling behind
Screaming inside
Living to die
Buried in my mind
Final expedition
Go

Eyes on the horizon, but nowhere to go
These names I used to call are fading to slow
Night pulls me deeper with each step I take
Each step I take for you

My shadow follows like a silent ghost searching for soul
No no I won’t let go
No matter where I travel, I’m called to hold control
Go go it won’t me go

I’m breaking to be free
(No more shame, no more weakness inside for me)
I’m standing, can’t you see?
(You can’t see, you can’t see)
I’m chasing all that I want to be
(I’ll be free, I’ll be more than their memory)
I’m done with history
(You can’t see, you can’t see)
