A Rhythm on the Dirt

My feet patter on quietly

The never-ending cycle

A pounding in my mind

Nothing can cure the hurt

I have inflicted so violently

The never-ending cycle

I'll never leave it behind

Onward I travel

Day by day, I endlessly wander

Looking, always looking

From behind my endless grin

Eternally I marvel

I concentrate, I ponder

Looking, always looking

For my atonement for my sin

This is my penance

This is my crime

The weight I carry for all time.

And as my feet pitter-patter

I feel my sins drawing

But I accept my punishment

And silently await my soul to shatter.
