A Gateway To Nothing

Vision adjusts to this change in light
While returning from another stay -
The trees outside they cast a shadow
And they’re filling this room with a familiar shade of grey

Just like a gateway, at our expense, theres nothing
I try to get away, but it keeps giving me something

Daily path worn into the dirt
Suppressing this misery, is a full days work
Heavy-hearted grabbing my crutch
These fragments of solace are never enough

Worn into, to the dirt
These fragments aren't enough
Daily path worn into the dirt
Entrapt in this shadowed room and it reeks now of his chain

Repetition from dusk to dawn and everything between
This innovative therapy
So simple to ignore the world, in a vast bliss
Slip back into this emptiness

Just like a gateway, at our expense, theres nothing
I try to get away but I admit there's something

Day after day, no end in sight
This quest my peace to find
The darkness consuming the light
No end in sight
No end in sight

Slip back in and let the regimen run its course
