You Tried It Alone

in and out of your stratosphere,
shooting your guns in the air,
trying to reach that higher place,
the bullets fly down all over your place,
racing the train to cross the tracks,
you gotta make your move, can't turn back,
look back once and take the turn,
you're hit so hard you start to burn,
the fire burns in your eyes,
your soul feels that eternal demise,
you struggle to your feet, you start to rise,
your pulled down hard as you reach for the skies.
slowly you realize,
slowly you fall,
all this time you did it alone,
as your body gets hard and you turn to stone.
you realize you lost,
you realize you're done,
the cauldron bells ring,
you lost everything,
your life,
your soul,
you are gone,
in your mortality, you tried it alone ....
