Peel

Ive been peeling away the layers
Digging to the center
Trying to find some common thread to follow
Turning to face the mirrors
In deepening reflection
But all the answers seem to be so hollow
Face buried
Hands clawing at the sand
Ive built myself this fortress
But now the walls are cracking
Ive been sifting through the pieces
Searching for a pattern
Trying to find some hidden sense of purpose
Going down blind alleys
Has me putting out my eyes
cause I dont have the will to see whats there
Face covered
Im shutting out the world
Retreating in this shell
And waiting for the blackness
Would I know peace of mind?
Is it true?
Would you know what youd find
If you searched for it, too ?
What you do depends on you
So explore
What Ill be depends on me
And whats there at the core
I look into my eyes
And nothing gazes back
Shadows without substance
Fading into black
Would I know peace of mind?
Is it true?
Would you know what youd find
If you searched for it, too?
What you do depends on you
So explore
What Ill be depends on me
And whats there at the core
