Breadcrumbs

Falling further from the life
I would choose
Strips my soul until there’s
Nothing left to lose
Trail of breadcrumbs in my wake
Blown away by the whirlwind of my mind
A penence paid for past mistakes
Can’t erase all the damage left behind
So I look away
For today
Erase this from my mind
Cuz if I look too deep
The reality (is)
Scared what I might find
Walking blindly led by words on high
Beg for substance with our hands held to the sky
A million words from every faith
Seem to echo through the caverns of my mind
A penence paid for past mistakes
Can’t erase all the pain I feel inside
So I look away
For today
Erase this from my mind
Cuz if I look too deep
The reality (is)
Scared what I might find
So I walk away
For today
Erase this from my mind
Cuz in reality
I’ve looked too deep
And I can’t go back this time
