Back In the Shadows

Out of sight and out of mind.
It just aint' right, it just aint' kind.
The clouds are all that I can see.
I'm just tired of being me.

The avenue of where to go.
Has left me somewhere I don't know.
And turning left or turning right.
Is far beyond my own insight.

The cobwebs are thick inside my eye's.
They cover the reason's and the why's.
I've lost my way back to the start.
I just wander around with this broken heart.

I'm left to wonder, how do I cope.
When beratement leaves me with no hope.
The ghost's of shadow's have called me home.
They've tied me down so I won't roam.
