I’m staring at this emptiness, there, in front of me
Only roads of black and white spread out from land to sea

Darkness lies ahead, I fear, whichever way I go
The broken tales of loneliness and fallen dreams of woe

Rivers run dry, and storms lay ahead, across the barren land
I trip in cracks and fall to the ground but no one takes my hand

As I arise within the clouds, I hear in raindrop songs
The shattered world of innocence where my soul yearns to belong

Have you ever had that dream where you keep running and running but can't seem to get anywhere? Nobody is there to help you...you're scared. This is that dream put into words.
