I stand alone in a cave at the center of lore
And I wanted you all here to see
Clues, guides, and maps have me where no one has been before
The reasons for this trial
This quest is cloaked in mystery
But here I stand my efforts in hand where yours used to be
Why do I feel I've been here before?
My footprints revealed in the trail
Past pathways I have trodden
These memories a ghost of this place
I can't see a thing
Save the flickering shapes on the walls of the cave
The only allegory I'll ever need
They're floating silently disrupting light
Their benevolence illuminates the pathways to insight
The despair of this place Ghostface, we are
antithesis
I will not see you again
Nor is it my wish to share in the same space
You looked so good in blue
Now my least favorite of hues
I was never looking to see
I was always looking for you
And it leaves be blind in the dark
Seemingly surrounded by nothing
There is a small spot in the back of my brain
Where truth and reality still have domain
And love, and hope, and faith remain
The necessary components
I need not explain
It is never enough
Each step is a mistake
My fate it seems is stumbling
Pitfalls, the paths pass will surely sting
We're to suffer with a higher pain
That elusive light you seek
Shining on forever to end the blindness
For treasures always sought, and the emptiness its brought
They linger unforgotten
And then lead to my goal without fail
