Dry Riverbed

Circles form the stream
Reflecting me
But the waterfall I see
Ascends the lonely breeze

Intentions of a ghost
Take from me
This dead and dying host
Please just take me home

The thunder, rain and dust
All I see
Intentions, pain and lust
Lost and refusing trust

Standing strong but still alone
Bleeding me
Attempting life before I know
My dying heart will grow

Circles take my eyes
Breathe through me
Condescending, dying lies
Numb before I will despise
Fateful rivers and denial
