Fires blazing inside of me,
I can't find anything to put them out
Living tragedy after tragedy,
Burning until I find a new route

Looking for a path to lead me to bliss,
But I'm being blinded by evil
Crying tears of blood over the trails I missed,
While I try to achieve the greatest retrieval

The retrieval of my identity,
My lack of serenity
But even with all this disturbance inside of me,
No one seems to hear my silent plea

I will have to pull my own weight,
For in the end, so desolate, I will stand alone
Not able to battle with fate,
I must give myself up to the ineveitable unknown.
