Shadow
Drowning in the sea of reason
Down I fell beneath the wave
Breathing deep the air of freedom
Chained to rocks of what can't save me
What do I see?
What can I be?
Rising tides
And waters deep
That help my helpless soul to sleep
Memories I tried to keep
Kept burning in the sea
And all that I had ever made
Crumbled in my empty hand
All hopes I'd saved
Turned out to be just dust and sand
Art and artifice, "I am"
Sowing salts of hollow man
Fallow earth and barren dirt
This quintessence of dust
Cries out into the desert
Justly screaming at the sky
I
Am
