Tempest

dripping wet I awake to face this hell

lash for lash, we beg forgiveness in

a shallow grave

filling in

with all that we let die

bloodstained hands in blind contempt

as we watch the world go up in flames

an uncaring race (let it crash)

to the edge of bliss (let it die)

off the precipice - over and over till there's no longer

when did we ever care (write your status, fall in)

what's my recovery in a world that's past recovering?

we suffer all (let it crash)

to reach some end (let it die)

like sisyphus - over and over till there's no longer

life (serenity dawns)

life (as the fires grow)

life (as the clouds bellow)

life (as a heart still pines)

(I can't breathe with the weight of the end bearing down)

 

all things must come to pass

the birds, these waves, our plans and mistakes

all things must come to pass

these roots, old scars, light up like your eyes

all things must come to pass

your touch, this dream, lights up with the skies

life as ephemera

stars don't shine they

flicker in the night, merely a specter of

what once was, what could have been

even dead and gone, there's beauty in the absence

there's beauty in the silence

there's beauty in you

there's beauty in me
