Searching (All Is Lost)

Where am I?
Can't see to find myself... As of late

Searching...

All is lost
Everything's at cost
Staring into where my earth meets my sky
Passion once ran down my rivers
My deep forest flourished, roots nourished
Lack of it has become fatal in me
Now I can't seem to find my way
My way back to my heart

Burdened
Certainly indebted
Don't know this place
But it sure is hell owns me
Got no one to turn too
No place to call home
It's dark and cold here
Soul shivers among my bones
Spirit dead, feeling lifeless
Lifeless dead
Lifeless dead
Lifeless dead

Abandonment
Empty nearly falling apart
Unraveling at the seams, spiritless
Voyage into the dammed
Black holes in my stare

God!... Just wanna go home!
Oblivion beckons me
Soul of a dead man
Venturing that much further away from the light
Cursed into the night

Searching
Deep inside for my life
Searching
Into the stranger behind my eyes
Searching
For myself as I am

Tears begin to fall, lost
Feeling everything
Back up against the wall
No place to run, no place to hide
Fighting against self
Trying to survive

Searching, searching
Thru my skies
Searching,  searching
Behind my eyes

-ADuarte
