Can you give me all I seek?
For it's in your soul I know you keep
A truth you know should not be feared
Yet all the same it keeps you here
In a place your loathe to love
A havoc you cannot rise above
Bringing only anguish inside
A heart that's made for nothing aside
Aside from a love and hope that's true
A brightness that is truly you
Inside yourself I know you'll see
Conviction and an enduring belief
It may take days or weeks or years
But you must see past what appears
For when it seems you will but drown
Look inside, there your truth will be found.
You try and hide, but these words I see
Are screaming through your eyes at me
Beyond the sounds I hear from you
I find a fate more deeply true
It tells a tale you can't deny
No matter how you mask, or try
A story of such toil and pain
So that now only a ruin remains
The truth behind the hurt is raw
But somehow, you long to give yet more
To find a way to make this stop
To topple the endless spinning top
Until there is none left to find
And the emptiness can render you blind
Because only then will you feel free
From that past that broke your creed
