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

Tailored to obsession

A fault unto my own

Too far into my absence

With which I’ve 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

[Solo – Jerry Zahija]

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
