Choking flow of hours
A trap
An unbroken leaden mass
I dived in, blind to the consequence
And the light of life (that) in me was dying fast
My self-abhorrence would drive me toward the dark
The way felt but perfect so I stayed
With grim Hades as my sought patriarch
With sweetest dreams of no more light of day
Direction sealed and mine
Serene in devastation
But something died inside
Perception shift
I see my spring
Black waves subdued to carry me ashore
I woke to a hope that I’m pursuing
All still unclear but this only thing -
Darkness - I won’t surrender to it
Black waves subdued to carry me ashore
I woke to a hope that I’m pursuing
All still unclear but this only thing -
I will stand tall
Plague relieved
A vortex flooded with moonshine
A dive to the stream of life
