Lost Road

Confounded by the time that is passing 

How many things can happen

I grew into a tree when I started from a sapling

Back then I thought I had it mapped out 

Now I’m locked in a cage

Expecting handouts

Even now, time passing

In my heart now is nothing but sadness

Ridiculing my manhood you took it all from me

Let me stop lying to these pages

I did it to myself, locked myself in these cages

I was on the block 

I thought I didn’t care or held no fear 

I wish I could have seen the future 

I would have seen all the tears
