"Protean" lyrics

"Protean"

Fleeting ground
Steps on broken glass

No rest
Nomad

Ruined ground
Seeking to blaze a trail

Forlorn ground
Worn out heart

No rest
Nomad

Every step she walks – overcoming
Every soul she collects – a sore spot
Every breath she takes on her road
Through incomplete matters

Deep forest
No signs of light
Pounding waves
Turn of current
Unbearable mountains
If she falls, she'll bite the dust
To ensure that she's still alive

Muddy spots
Risk of caving in
She battles to find hold

Solid soil
Twinge within her bones
She struggles for an end

The shifting
The differing
Ever-changing
The protean
