I lost myself,
As I chased a dream,
A dream filled with deceptive steam.
I deceived myself,
As I closed my eyes,
Eyes clouded by a web of lies.
I lied to myself,
As I sold my soul,
A soul tarnished as black as coal.
I tarnished myself,
As I gave my will,
A will chained to the forbidden thrill.
I chained myself,
As I lost my way.
A way and soul that has gone astray.
