Days marked out
In bland repetition
Bound to this husk
Craving a vision
Or anything really to shake me
From my waking sleep
Strike with the blade
Plunge it in deep
And let me be strengthened
Let me fly free
Borne on the blood
As sweet as vanilla
That leaks from the tree
Pace out my cell
Day after day
Cut off from the world
Locked away
But when the spark catches and the
Smoke starts to rise
I will soar with it
And I will see with new eyes
And I will be strengthened
And I will be free
Borne on the blood
As sweet as vanilla
That leaks from the tree
And though I know
The wound will eventually close
And I'll awaken to the constant pain
At least for a while
This fog is lifted
And I can forget about these chains
Because I am strengthened
Though I'll never truly be free
Bound by the blood
As sweet as vanilla
That leaks from the tree
