THE WALL
Ascending this wall
Ascending it all.
Death of the one
Death of desire.
A forgotten thing
A forgotten song, no one could sing.
On the edge of their minds
Willing to be
Remembered at best.
But no one could see.
A demon incarnate
Fires incinerate.
Ascending this wall
Between living and dead
Ascending it all.
Being pushed away
From the reason I climb
Willing to enter, but all say nay.
Climbing `til I drop
Being denied to live
Almost to the top.
I hope with all my might
But all I do is fall
Hoping for light, or a cool summer night.
Ascending this wall
Ascending it all
Only to fall.
Writhing in pain
An invisible force
Holding me back.
Tempting me,
Baiting me,
Fooling me.
Trying to climb is certain doom
But my life I am too stubborn to give
Trying is foolish.
It is not worth it
I should just sit
And wait for it.
Wait for the death I am certain to get…
But I try none the less
Try to escape my destiny.
Ascending this wall
Ascending it all
Only to fall.
Look at this wall!
It is huge!
It is tall!
Look at this thing we call…
The wall!
Ascending this wall
Ascending it all.
It's pointless can't you see?
Though all I see is thee.
The only reason why…
Why I won't die!
New found desire!
New found hope as I climb higher and higher!
Your face flashes through…
These pictures are new…
Though they are as true…
As you.
These walls…
These halls…
All are dim…
All are scarce…
These walls…
These halls…
Seem to hurt…
Seem to laugh…
Seem to want…
Seem to cherish…
I do not care I will climb!
I will not fall!
These walls…
These halls…
I have climbed the highest now!
I have not fallen…
Ascending this wall
Ascending it all.
Warning me…
Letting me see…
My fate!
So just wait…
You cannot escape it!
You cannot out wait it!
I do not believe these voices!
I will make my own choices!
Never extinguishing…
Never distinguishing…
This wall…
This motion of motionless…
This powerless power!
This omnipotent slave!
To the one who climbs…?
To me…
For you…all for you…
Ascending this wall
Ascending it all.
It gave up?
It let up?
I won?
This climb that took my life...
Took it all then gave me strife?
Looking around me…
I feel it looming…
I feel a dooming…
The sensation of false hope…
What a dope!
Amidst this… this...
This mist!
Another wall!
Just as tall!
Looming overhead…
Impossible I thought!
Then I see your face amidst this mist…
The only one I fight for!
You beckon!
This wall, up this wall!
I reckon you are what I dream you to be…
This wall…
I need no reason!
No reason at all
To follow you there!
That place beyond this guerilla warfare…
Between me and this wall!
I have to know if this is it…
If this is the last trip…
Up this wall…
This wall of all walls!
