From my dust you came
To dust you have returned
Taking away that part of me
And leaving only a void
I watch you rising into the night sky
You arms spread wide to welcome a new light
My dreams are turbid, my thoughts are wild
This acidic blame that burns my insides
What strange journeys shall you undertake?
Across unmarked and hollow ground
Or will you simply disappear
A phantom child accusing me
I see your hands rotting to dust
Even as mine grow old
A tiredness that reeks of death
Even as I live under the weight of blame
To soothe your calloused hands
Would take a thousand years
I would hold your calloused hands
And soothe your crushing fears

Always waiting for something resembling a feeling
I’ve been numb for days now
I cannot eat I cannot speak
Every organ is rotting away inside
Every dream I’ve ever had is coming to die
I refuse to give this world my blood,
my sweat, my tears and my nightmares.
For this world is cruel
For this world will leave none unscarred
Between madness and the tides we find a place to crystallize
Everything is clear as the water beneath my feet
Between madness and the tides we find a place to crystallize
Everything is clear as the water over my head
We must be hollow if we wish to survive
No feelings, no innards, just a great gaping void
I stumble towards the sea
Seeking a womb to swallow me
Beneath the waves maybe there is a hope
There is a part of me that will not be alone
I stumble into the sea
Sink like a stone so I can finally be free
Beneath the waves maybe there is a hope
That I can finally hold you in my arms

It seems like I found you days ago
Bloated and cold drifting in the surf
I stood and watched the waves drag
Your body up to the shore
I saw your lips, your eyes, your finger tips
And knew at once they were lifeless
The warmth that once flowed through you
Now has nowhere to call a home
Where are they now our days of bliss
Where is comfort where is hope
They sink as surely as a stone
Wither as surely as the trees
Every smile that I remember
Is replaced with your final mask
Every touch of your skin
Becomes cold in my mind
I find myself alone among the trees
Miles from you, miles from me
Dreading the sight of your skin and bones tonight
If I force myself to sleep
My body surrenders
It shall be consumed
Into the earth
