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
