Blinding Lust from Blinding Lust by Narrow Cold

In this labyrinth of existence, I am lost and adrift
My heart, a tempest-tossed sea, with waves of pain that lift
I search for what's missing, a piece of something that's mine
A glimmer of hope, to heal the wounds that take their toll
I long for a sense of purpose, to fill this void within
A symphony of meaning, to heal my weary heart's noise

I see the ray of hope, a call to follow
But with each step I take, I must dig deeper
As I try to keep it in sight
I am forced to be blinded by darkness, not light

To be closer to the lost thing I try to find
I must swim through bitter tears in the river of sacrifice

The cost of my jurney is a weight I must wear
A path of thorns and pitfalls full of my despair

I see the ray of hope, a call to follow
But with each step I take, I must dig deeper
As I try to keep it in sight
I am forced to be blinded by darkness, not light

When I though it was over, I turn my head and see it
The thing that I lost a long time ago
As I get closer my eyes turned black
Because I found out what I was looking for
It is my shattered soul, unfixable and dark
And so I stood there, with nothing but my pain
A prisoner of my own quest, a victim of my own brain
Lost in the emptiness, with nothing to hold
The prize I sought, was my own broken soul.
