Singing along, stringing along the ghastly glacial tunes
Sinking in the sands of debility
Saddled on a ride filled with sanguinity
Pondering, contemplating, desp...

Where empty streets silently carry the ghosts of choices,

Of unfulfillment,
Controlled by people's thoughts.

The ultimate gift 
Correction 
One of the ultimate gifts 
A way to undo 
A way to redo 
A way to rewrite 
A way to reject spite 
A way to free myself

The Eternal Battle

...you claim I'm over emotional
when my heart is in distress
telling me I'm irrational
