In a world so bare and desolate
It's hard to find something to appreciate
The cave is so cold, and dark- a void
Maggots toss a crow's carcass like a toy
My feet are caked in thick, sticky blood
As I trace the old runes in ashes and mud
Scamperings of impaired denizens
Echo through icy tunnels and clearings

The system was broken so away I fled
"You're a nothing- a failure," is what they said
Like a broken record, the song plays in my head
I shove down my throat nails made of lead
Wanderlust is overrated
Who would want to live without a roof and a bed?

The cracks and gnashing fill my ears
A wild dog hunted and ate a deer
It screeched and struggled before it died
Like a child being spanked because he stole and lied
Vultures linger in the green sky
The sickly color warns of a storm nearby
I take shelter in a ravine of skeletons
Brittle, shattered by reckless sons

The system was broken so away I fled
"You're a nothing- a failure," is what they said
Like a broken record, the song plays in my head
I shove down my throat nails made of lead
Wanderlust is overrated
Who would want to live without a roof and a bed?
