Bursting bubbles of everlasting commandments
Decrypting currents of raging water
My fears are slipping apart from me
Breath is faltering / moving in the dark
I find myself beyond
This blackwater nightmare:
Shunning drifting towards absence
I find myself now clear
Ah, collapsing ideals
Lullabies bleeding meaning
Are these the dreams I dreamt?
Or are they just sympathetic suggestions?
Ah, approaching their embrace
Lullabies deep within me
These are the dreams I dreamt
If not, then I will make them mine
I’ve discovered new shades of blue
I’ve met with mysterious creatures
But the light that gracefully shines through the unknown
Has rampant strength, and in despair I burn
I’m blind, and I crumble gripping, reaching in vain to what used to hold me
But it is long gone and I’m left with nothing but crushing thoughts
I stand over reminiscence
Forming spikes that break through the unwilled
My only chance to seal with bravery, ah!
My nostalgic void! My poisonous comfort!
I passed ferocious maelstroms
I endured through icy currents
My core is still ablaze
My gaze meets blurry stars
I’m craving for silhouettes
I’m starving for the unseen
My core is dripping flames
My gaze meets the mighty icefield
I am faced with my birth and death
My heights will fade through grandeur
My foundations will stay strong
As I reach this frosty barrier
