My Fractured Path Lyrics

Naked feet fall to the path I now must walk,
torn and avulsed from shards of what remain,
fractured from the memory.
No insect, no animal
has endured what I have done,
gnawing limb from snare to survive,
born of instinct (not of want).
This tattered spirit bows,
these broken hands let go.
I am not without fear,
as I have never known this world alone.
Hands shivering hold no shield
as I go into the world
beneath skies of starless night.
This tattered spirit bows,
these broken hands let go.
I surrender the ghost
of a life I no longer recall
beside the same of letting go.
I am the shard, I am the fracture.
