Try and Fail

My mind burns every single turn
I lose a path that don't stray
Built my home on unstable ground

And buried my coffin in clay

You try and fail and you try again
You expect the outcome will change
You're forever cold under the warm sun
As you chase the shadows of pain

Crawling skin and burning blood
Lightless void fills your soul
You're born and bred within a cage
To a life that you don't control

And you might think it a pleasure
To waste your mind away
But that's the price you pay
When you play with the pack
You throw away the key to your chains
