A Peek Behind The Veil

While It Lasts

Cycles that never end
Hold me unto death
Eternally straining me
Until my final breath

Old problems pass
Easy as the breeze
Till they manifest again
Forcing me to my knees

I go to take a step
Slowly once again
But it kicks me back down
This story never ends

As if the world knows
And is built to trap me in
Some undercover devil
Voodoo dolls and pins

Tormented forever
Loves answers out of reach
Stuck trying to stand
To finally find some peace

While it lasts, I struggle on
Learning from past mistakes
Through chains I will wait
Until death's embrace
