Foreordained

As I travel through this world, living so far behind my blinded eyes.
Searching for the reason I’ve longed so hard now to understand.
I’ve finally discovered why love can’t be the answer.
Why I’ve been pushed down this road
So far away from any I’d ever thought I would know.

All those years ago, when I would force myself inside of my cage.
Punishing my soul over dreams, when I allowed a lie, to believe in ecstasy.
Foreordained exile breaking me apart inside,
Meshugaas, become who I am
Consuming me as I walk this road, scared and alone.

It took me so long to grow up, discovering the man I am inside.
So many years of countless heartache
Only to learn my destiny, to listen to my footsteps echo alone.
Lying myself down to dream at night
My only friend is the memories I’ve created, dreamt up from within.

To think I can find love is a folly, never again to be spoken of
Since I am foreordained, my future is etched in stone.
I have set down my dreams, to seek out the truth inside.
I am destined to count each step alone.
Only now I find myself wondering, which road will open before me.

Why am I here?
Each night of life, spent trembling, quiet in fear.
I’ll cry out, begging only to be given the answer, why
I’m supposed to breathe and die alone.
What purpose is behind the footsteps, left in my wake?
Destiny shall guide me.
Only time can tell my destined path upon this earth.
