\"What have I done?\" I berate myself again and again For I'm a forlorn son More importantly: what will I become?
I can't shed my doubts like a second skin Dry hope encases me Decay is choking me
Love breeds compassion Hatred breeds torment Time breeds a world full of change
But where do I go from there?
When I screamed Could my voice be heard In the bounds of your \"heaven\"? Do you negate the stars?
If I could withstand the pangs of existence Why should I need you now? I've been fine on my own, with no helping hand To suture and nourish the wounds How can I be a man When I've spent my whole life Learning that I could never become Any kind of man?
Like a great monolith Underneath the waves Our purpose sleeps within us Waiting to emerge
Like a great monolith Underneath the waves Our purpose lies beneath us
All I wanted to be Was your beautiful son Perennial with the Earth
Where hearts grew weak And spirits were burdened Your love prevailed While others' were shaken
Throughout my life All the choices I've made were not my own And now it's time that I shaped myself Without adhering to the will of those that were questioning my worth Here I am: What more can I be?
