Oceans of Despair

Pale flickering heart of dust
Please bear with me
For how long will this fire burn?
Patterns repeating

How far can my voice reach?
Beyond the stars?
Will dusk bring hope or devour me?

Even with the sun, comes the night
As gravity took you away
I slept by the gallows that day
When gravity took you away

I've lost so many years
Building my defence
Through oceans of despair
So many years
I've tried
I failed

Crushed by the waves
And thrown into the ocean's throat
This vast sea will be my death
If only my heart could navigate
