Hidden Comfort

i walk faster and faster in circles i go looking for the gate where does it go    nowhere

trapped forever another minute in the oast how long will this restlessness last

back to grey just another day i am always unaware my lonliness is eating at me

like an open sore leaving me broken and beaten 

so i pierce my tainted skin and blast my only comfort into my hungry veins

leaving me breathless i am completly taken  -  taken from my own circles

i have found my gate - to where - to no where but yet i'm so far away from it all
