Taunted by fate's mirage

Crawling through the fog
I don’t want to feel any more
I’m catching up with my fate
I’m opening the door

With tricks all around
I know that they’re coming for me
My eyes watering
I just can’t wait to see
What new bad luck’s awaiting
A soul hopelessly
Still is reaching for stars

Haunted by my life
I sing from afar
Karma I feel you owe me
Taunted by fate
I was hoping for more
What I thought was perfect was just a mirage

I’ve dug myself into
A hole I now belong in
Covering me with old dirt and ashes
Morale always low as
I sleep the pain away and
I hope for minor reprieve

One more time
Close your eyes
Let me control you
Held breath
Consciously it makes thinking harder for free

The pattern won’t return until
We find an understanding
Dynamic thoughts would surely calm me
A chance to turn the focus from
What should be done naturally to
The phase that switches one over
Into that new state of being
My mind is blackened and random

I can see all the day’s events
Tragically changing form
Showing me a new take on things
Be it true or just make believe
And I know fate is here to watch me fail

I find my way out of
This dark and winding hallway
Can it be real or just an illusion
I've been lead on to think that I might survive this path
Shall I crawl back into this home that I’ve grown accustomed
To fellow puppets: I've seen the balance
