The Wall

What could this be
Stretching far as my eyes can see
Limitless in scope and depth
Begging me to cope with it
It's dark, and the walls are high
The air blows, soft as a sigh
Not a window or door to be seen
But the night sky beckons above me

As I climb, my hands grow weary
Against the walls, drab and dreary
And I think I have found the end
And I slip to the ground again

Perpetual nighttime- lasts for years
The laughter drifts down to my ears
My captors fairly shine with pride
What had once been mine has died
Their stationary glow gives me hope
As I climb that endless scope
And I nearly reach the top
They give one push and I drop

And I wonder what I was fighting for
Those days are gone forevermore
Try to remember what they once had been
Before I fell through hell without one sin

Eyes wide now, I see no more
Are they worth what they were for?
Life goes on without me there
What was gone before the care
Motivation falters now
I know I need to leave, but how?
I turn my face now to the wall
If I scrape long enough, it should fall...

 And I wonder what I was searching for
Those days are gone forevermore
Try to remember what they once had been
Before I fell through hell without one sin

Once again, please don't get caught up in the meaning behind these lyrics. Though you could consider it "Amplified: Part II."

"Life goes on without me there
What was gone before the care
Motivation falters now
I know I need to leave, but how?"
