Aspen

Heavy rain
 Compacts the reddened earth
 Her exposed face spouts tears
 From lifeless eyes
 I claw my way from the shallow grave
 But I'm dizzy and unclear
 I fall back in
 Wishing I was the one who died
 Through the fog and the black abyss
 My mind still wanders there
 I fear one day
 I won't return again
 Spectral hands lift me away
 From the temple of loss
 Body numb
 I reflect on the time we had
 Taste, smell, this sensation in my limbs
 These are things I take for granted to this day
 Sight, sound, silent whispers to the wind
 Can be lost but not forgot
 I bury my dead
 Just to know I'm alive
 Confined by reality
 Wander across the universe
 Taste, smell, this sensation in my limbs
 These are things I take for granted to this day
 Sight, sound, silent whispers to the wind
 Can be lost but not forgot
 I envy the dead
 Just to know I'm alive
 Escape from mortality
 Wander across the universe
