Carmeria - Veil of Sanctitude

I’ve a world within myself
Sanctioned and alone
Mirrored from the inside
Reflecting all I know

But there’s secrets within secrets
I can’t draw one from my own
Laid upon lifeless
Like speaking into stone

I won’t spare another day
Imprisoned in this life
Fighting to survive
I won’t be left to lead astray
Those who choose to run
Towards a better fate

They say readers talk in pictures
But I’ve painted far too long
Calloused and abandoned
Lost for words unknown

Tailorеd to obsession
A fault unto my own
Too far into my absence
With which I’vе welcomed home

I won’t spare another day
Imprisoned in this life
Fighting to survive
I won’t be left to lead astray
Those who choose to run
Towards a better fate

Reach out, they say
That all that’s in my way is myself and I
I have lost my way
When there’s no reason to stay
I’ll leave this place
I’ll rest this way

I left my love in silence
Like a whisper to the wind
Free upon a breeze

No longer afraid
To soar before the sun
The warmth upon my wings

I won’t spare another day
Imprisoned in this life
Fighting to survive
I won’t be left to lead astray
Those who choose to run
Towards a better fate

I won’t spare another day
Imprisoned in this life
Fighting to survive
I won’t be left to lead astray
Those who choose to run
Towards a better fate
