Building your tower
In the valley of shadows
Neatly packaged fantasy
To lay your foundation
Hiding in the dark
Of an empty heart
The Light only burns
When you live in a cave
Living in a past of illusions
Brings the pain of the future
Wishing for what could have been
Never seeing what should be.
Trapped in a current
A river under ice
Freedom never found
Until we drown.
Putting your faith in a pulpit
Finding the answers you want
By ignoring the Word
From above
Enlightenment by the numbers
Salvation by the sound bite
But one is never set free
By clinging to their life
