The Soul

What is love, when love doesn't exist
What is the heart, is it only a myth
Unexplainable conditions, stories never told
Death over-rides life, as mans' fate is sold
There's a certain question that's searching for an answer
A soulful disease, filled with cancer
Can you answer
No one answers
Say your prayers, say one for me
Can't live like this, my soul is not free
Trapped in a corner, lost in a maze
Slowly trying, my soul trying to escape
There's a truthful fashion in a hideous disguise
My soul is dying, filled with lies
Can someone help
No one tries
I feel my soul slipping, further away
No need for tomorrow, can't make it through today
Begging for forgiveness of all my sins
But can't live with this hurt that I feel within
Telling my problems to get them off my chest
My soul lies down to a peaceful rest
What's left
Nothing's left
Except life that was wasted
