91

I've been wandering lightly

in the silence of the night

Looking into the shadows

to ensure all is just right 

I've been wondering lightly

if the world's come undone

if my fear it'll unravel 

has yet finally begun 

I've been pondering lightly 

through the smoke and the haze

if the worry will haunt me

for the rest of my days

I've been screaming quite loudly 

through the breaking of dawn 

the world's ending around me

can't you see what they've done

I've been flailing and ranting 

like an absolute fool

no one will listen

there's nothing I can do

I've been wandering lightly 

through the dark of my cell

if I can just slip out

perhaps all will be well

I've been wondering lightly 

back out in the world

all the nightmares are realized 

yes, the wreckage unfurled 

I've been waiting and waiting 

to just slip away

but all that remains here

is a sea of decay 

I'm still screaming and ranting 

is it worth the cost?

Is it just in my head, 

or has all already been lost...
