At the end of the tunnel, I believe,
that is where we will find ourselves.
The original person we were fore told
We’d be before we began to fold,
and submit to the demons within;
The urges, to sin,
The get it no matter the price.
Unforgiven goes your toll.
At least youre paid up here.
Leave your soul for the child within,
Will bear your burden through thick and never thin,
But that’s just how the lifestyle you chose goes.
Sell your body, sell your soul,
Trample your loved ones dig your hole.
And when you find who you once were
Sitting patiently at the end of the tunnel;
With a tear at the tip of your chin,
Begging to let it drip before its dried,
With the sleeve sown from lies,
From a face beneath the hood where it hides.
In the security of it’s fold; Identity is denied.
Looking upon your own face
Is much too much to bear.
This is the child you once were,
Now beaten, scarred, and drowned in the poison
You suffered your body through.
But the child never numbed like you,
The child remained in the place you forgot him
A lonely waste in the hole you left him to rot in.
Angelic eyes glistening a question for you;
‘Why did you leave me there on a stoop?
With a dream in my hand
And a yearning heart?’
Malnourished and alone you waited patiently
for yourself to come back
Now the child holds out for you to behold
The dream you once had for yourself.
And its the rotted core of an apple,
For your time is up and the apple drops.
You take the hand and your heads hang low,
And you wait for judgment to be bestowed.
And your child looks up just one more time
And you have no one but yourself
To answer to for your crimes
And the child asks you.. Why?
Will you be able to look into your own eyes
and justify?
Because at the end of the tunnel you will see,
That is where you’ll find yourself.
