As I walk through the shadows
With a few shallow circular pools of light
All the beady eyes piercing through me
Seeming to know all the filthy truths
Seeing the guilt filling my soul
Knowing all the horribly qualms
Continuing down the dark ally
The dampness soaking into the skin
Wanting to unravel what has taken place
Pondering all the dreams until they're true
unwilling to waste away all alone
Farther down the clouded alley
Seeking some glimmer of light
Hunting for something that once was
Craving an end that will be sweet
How did I let this happen
