Undying Within



Where in the distance, they say you see your future,
but for where has my soul fallen;
Back into those disparaging clouds of my youth.
Forgive me for trespassing upon a friends land,
upon my families hands.
For times decadence relays the notion
to be incapable of winning nor losing.

For every battle has my mind fixed
upon the resolution of the undying within.
I'm a spirit dancing to the wind
for which wraps around my soul.
It captivates every feeling that surrounds my countenance.

I shall not leave your heart behind
to wither by trees of seasons,
yet shall I rather define its potential hereafter
in the darkness of my mind.
The darkness of my crippling fight
to carry on through times revelation again
