Dark Episode I Trudge

I have a cobble stone weighing down my heart 
Into the dark alleys and abbsies of lethal despair 
Where i am scared and afraid that 
I will be lost in the jungles of fear
 With nothing to retrace my footprints 
To where my soul is familiar and steady 
Where i can dance in the dusty rains 
And in ghastly winds with my eyes wide shut
And where worry isn't my everyday neighbour
But all that are dreams that sweep my mind 
like a mist on an overcast night that disappear by day break 
only to return as the night falls 
To torment me with ghostly haunts of hope 

I keep sinking deep into a darkening hole of worry 
Hanging on a thin rope of hope 
That keep thinning as i slide 
Right down into the depth of helplessness 
Where my hands turn into shadows that have no grip 
My legs into thin pudding that cant take a step 
And my thoughts scattered like small clouds that cant gather rain
 My faith fading away like the sound of a passing drone
