Sanity's Lapse from Catharsis by Candle

Sanity's Lapse
============

The wind blows
Across the dusty plain
The bodies of a million deer slowly decay
And I hear that voice again
Will I ever escape?
Will I ever get away?

It's like a prison
Even though it's a wide open space
I just keep wandering
North south east and west

And in the distance
A dense fog begins to form
Rolling across decaying grass
It envelopes me
It holds me
It pins me down
I get lost
Lost in its dense gaseous fray

And through that dense fog
Suddenly a light
A single point of light appears
Off in the distance

I try to move towards it
But every step I take
Every meagre centimetre I make
It gets further away

I feel like I've been walking for hours
Perhaps days
Perhaps months
Perhaps years
I don't know
It's so long
I'm just so lost in this dense fog on this dying plain

Will I ever get out again
Will I ever find home
Or am I destined simply to wander
A truant
A truant never at home

I guess we'll never know
'Cos I'm still lost
In the shadow of that once great hill
That slowly crumbled down into the sea
The sea where I could perhaps be free
Perhaps one day
One day I'll be free

I don't know if I'll ever get home
No I don't know if I'll ever get home
I'll just keep walking along this foggy path
Through the endless denseness of the fog
Hoping that one day
Maybe not too long
I'll get back home
Get back home
I'll get back home

She once said to me:
"Put your hand in mine
And I'll keep you safe"
And I let her go
Set her adrift
On the ocean of chaos
And now here I am
Yes here I am
Lost in my own madness
My own insane tonalities
If I could just hold her hand
I could hold her hand
I might go home
I might escape
I might end all this roaming
Through the fog
Through the haze
Through this dead grass
The crumbling hills are lost beyond
The virutes I once knew
I once held
And rebelled against
In the darkness
And in the rain
In the darkness
I feel her hands
Run through my hair
And I close my eyes
And I dream
Of that day
When I will finally be
Be away from this desert
This desert
This desert of foggy death
Where I'm captured
I'm a prisoner of my own ego
My own perceptions
My own death
My own life
My inabilities…

Take me away
Take me away
Wrap me up in your cold chains
And take me away
Take me down
Into that dark rank
Pit of darkness
And throw away the key
Throw away the key
I've finally accepted
I've lost my mind
But I'm ok with that
It was never mine to begin with

So this is the end
The end of all there was
The end of all that could be
But never was
The end

They threw away the key
Nobody's coming here for me
My mind is lost
It's gone for good
So I'm wrapped up here
In these cold chains
It's all that remains
Of my pour degraded soul
My pour degraded soul
It's all I've got left
It's all I've got left
Nothing
