40 miles

i'm closing myself inside the walls of pain
as the guiding souls have refused to show me the way

my eyes are filled with emptiness
no one can hear what they speak
in this dark crowded world
i'm accompanied by lonely streets

they are the only ones to accept me
though being crushed under my feet

i'm running after a shadow
that promises me the life
the more i move closer to it
the more i suffocate inside

a never ending quest for life
every day is a hell
every night kills me more inside
every morning i open my eyes to see
that i m still the same

why cant i change faces like them
this fucking mirror everyday shows the same image

last night i drained the blood out of me to ease the pain
why its still running in my veins

its time to move on
time to put the past behind
but why do i find myself still standing there
even after walking those forty miles
