Successful Failure

I'm trapped in a place, with no chains to bind me
Confined in a space, with no walls around me
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
I got a bad back, don't think that I can hold her.
I've spiraled high in the sky in a ball of flame
The place I call home, I call my hall of shame
Where I regard my name, to be the title of a man
With many a failed schemes and a few doomed plans.
...Every step I take seems to lead away
In a way to portray dismay as a normal day
So half way through each day I'll back away
a clichè way that says hey, I'll fade away.
So turn away, like my family did
I'm making known of my own throne, my empty home
that I caused on my own, so I say goodbye
Dry eyes, no one'll cry when I die.
...I have to change...
And so I look up, and use my eyes to see now
Then I sit down, and use my brain to think now
...It's getting harder now
Reach down...Dig deep now
No one, no one.....it's just me now.
It's getting brighter now...
...Keep going...
