Above the waters closed and trapped me within my sanctuary An unexpected, restless void An unknown destination For no angels have sang their songs No regal trumpet has sounded its call Temptations flames hasn’t left its singe For darkness surrounds me Resaturate the color within this life once lost No longer will I waste my breathe on this charade Conscious, not reincarnate Enlightened only of my mistake No, my final chapter is a blank page Return, reclaim For I have brought myself here with such a bitter tasting leap Through my own volition No matter the climb I will overcome death But what could I say Every single word will turn to ash and fade away What could I say? Will I stand there and watch my life end this way? I’ll hoist the anchor and be the life in these tattered sails Ascending from this darkness Passing through the veil So now the ocean has given up its dead, if only for a moment And I return to myself Calling Well if this world would keep its silence And the tide below has beckoned me forward Then I will never escape this instance But what could I say?
