Paths

Beautiful, ugly - dark and so deep,
Into your mind is where these paths will creep
Enticing, enchanting - full of mystery you seek
But only one path is home,
Only one path leads home.

Whispering, shivering, sunshine and rain,
Power and pleasure - glory and pain
These paths will take you where you want to go,
But only one path is home,
Only one path leads home.

For they'll take you and make you
what they want you to be,
They'll bind you and hide you
From what you should see,
Not all that glitters is Gold - Beware
Because only one path is home,
Only one path leads home.
