I know this world was temporary
I did have the fear of God
Can't recall when that changed
Can't see the end at all.

My soul was in ruins, pieces split apart
A part of me knew my time was temporary, and nothing in this world was here to stay.
A part of me wanted everything in this world to go my way.

And the other part...wondered if another life would come.

Were souls being recycled, is that why we're so frail?
Was the end near? Is my ship ready to sail!
Will my destination be up or below
Did my thoughts count as sins? If so, I'm sinking.

If my heart was what mattered, maybe I could float.

Was life a big game, was everyone in on it but me ?
Was this a test or a hell loop
A punishment for a lesson I failed before.
Will my life have worth, and will it be long
Would it have meaning and song ?

Was this world real to begin with ? Is everything we were told true ?
The power we kept in our memory, not even we know.
What if we held the secrets, maybe this trial would be easier
What if we were stronger than we think
Can we break free? Is that part of the rules ?

No! I didn't care.

Come trial or another life, I will discover the truth.

With a life full lived. And a heart fully loved.

The world may not be a dark pit after all.
The path will appear as we choose!
A step to write your fate.
Don't fear falling, you can't lose balance
You won't break down.
Your heart will soften and your wounds will mend
If you could see what I see

You'd see a bridge, not a dead end.
