My virtues and hopes
Nights are so dark here
I am terrified to sleep
As the day comes up
I am so scared to wake up
How would I ever confront?
The scared face of my life
Somehow, I am passing
Every moment in disguise
Things that are around me
They seems to be the same
People look the same
Dancing to the rhythms
Of demised or insane
Why do I feel so anxious now?
Breathless, while still alive
Lost within these empty streets
It reeks of death and defiance
My chances must be waiting for me
On the street that I was meant to climb
I must have taken a turn too soon
Now lost between these reflections of light
I cannot see my future from here
It’s so dark and confined
I am stripped of my only child
Every minute feels like a lifetime
Gambled away my virtues and hope
In lieu of kindness and a candle light
They speak a different language here
Crawling beneath the shadows of life
These paths lead to nowhere, it seems
Lost without a direction or time
I am bound to collide, somehow
I am bound to collide
