Between heaven and hell,
between the stories we tell 

Life is a journey through unchartered territory 
inner compass to excavate and explore 

Start out as a grain of sand,
nurtured so we can land 
Bloom and grow vines,
tethered to our confines 
Perceptions of the world,
the stories we've heard
Become our moral code,
our inner temples' abode 

Venture further in life,
it's joys and strifes 
Pressurized and sealed,
through it revealed 
The young adult set sail,
through perils prevail 
Loves' lost and found,
building our compund 
Meetings and greetings,
moments pass fleeting 
As we make our fate,
from our hearts palate

Now and then as we go,
curse our fates that made us so 
Starry eyed and naive,
that our hearts deceive 
our wisdom of mind, 
when we choose our kind
We set ourselfs up to fall,
thinking our destiny calls 

And so we make our own prison 
and within hide our prism 
Thinking we are at last in peace,
we will never again release 
our true and blue disease 
Our soul percieved as foe, 
as the nature of our woes 

Unable as we are to see, 
it's the mining of you and me
The excavation of the gold within,
through pressure we begin
Develop our inner core, 
to set journey on a distant shore 
Where we can at last be
happy and free
