Lands Beyond from Indelible by Knight of Swords

Wouldn't it be nice to exit oneself?
I stare at the mirror waiting to change
The white-hot core feels like ice now
I wish to escape this cage of flesh

Am I still young yet?
21 is too late
I'm falling behind and slowing down
And I feel so old inside my bones
I'll never get to embody who I am

If I could die without pain
I'd gladly do so
But the risk of failure too great
The certainty of suffering even in death
It'd just be another futile gesture
In a lifetime of futile gestures
Like the dove who found no green
Back to the darkness

Am I still young yet?
21 is too late
I'm falling behind and slowing down
And I feel so old inside my bones
I'll never get to embody who I am

Turning from mirror to window
Overlooking a featureless grey sound
The shore is entirely empty

Waiting for the ferry to the lands beyond
