" Duty Bound " *

I can feel your pain from miles away

Dealing with things you hate

But burdened with any way

Emotions beaten down

Duty keeps you bound

To follow that well paved path to hell

Lost and alone with no one to tell

What's it all about and why things are so desparate

The pain and the need for love can never be seperate

The truth is so simple

Yet complicated

All your emotions are simply dedicated

To surviving

There is no reviving

Faith and hope

All you can do is cope

With the love and the hate

So tightly entwined

Forever and ever

Rescue will come too late

Resolute and resigned

I can feel your pain from miles away
