The Worthless Vessel
Hollow and hopeless, I walk this land
Looking for a meaning not found
The truth ever hidden, somehow forbidden
The silence, the keeper of sound
The answers I seek, cloaked in the dark
The light, refusing to shine
This journey I'm on, remains far from home
No more than a prisoner of time
Though my body be weary, I keep marching on
Searching for a hint of relief
Though I'm ever willing, my life unfufilling
Stolen away like a thief
I travel this maze, without satisfaction
To appease this yearning untold
Though patience I lack, there's no turning back
While watching my future unfold
This path that I've chosen, keeps beckoning
I can hear it's hollow screams
Though I'm nothing special, a mere worthless vessel
I'll follow my hopes and my dreams
