Subtraction
I set out on an endless journey
Not knowing where the road ahead would lead
The path at my feet stretched out before me
A promise to heal my bitter memory
I knew that my walk would not be easy
Had it ever been since the day that I was born?
But my feet did not stay or stray or tarry
I steeled myself and grimly started forth
And I walked on, through the clinging fields
Away from where I buried all my dreams
Where I know love was lost and squandered
I walked on with no hope of finding peace
I continued on my endless journey
The cruel cold cutting to my aching bones
I looked through the swirling snows before me
But saw nothing to make me turn and go back home
And I walked on, far from the callous halls
Where faith seems just a lie that I can tell
Where I know love was lost and squandered
Wasted by a man in a nameless shell
This road is not the one I wanted to go down
But it's too late to turn aside
On my own now, there's an emptiness that haunts my every step
I don't care what the strong pretend
I'm not scared, I'm terrified
