Manifolds of Personal Despair

the truth is that no single song could all your woes describe

won't matter if they're large or small they'll keep us here a while

the roads you walk are manifolds of personal despair

with ruts of certain amplitude tuned exactly unfair

there is no other walk of pain more valid than your own

but keep in mind the road you walk is yours to walk alone

terror creeps and danger lurks round every tree and knoll

and while another's road seems safe there's danger you can't know

you'll come through all the desp'rate need with scars before the end

but know that all around are scars amidst whom yours will blend
