The Interlude of Aphradere: Iridescent Turbulence

God, I am overwhelmed within me, But you are merciful everlastingly You release your sincere spirit of shameless serenity And you wash me thoroughly with it wholeheartedly, For I've been lost for many a year I must grin in gladness ear to ear Fill my bathtub with cheer, Oh waters of Aphradere I am content, but down low once more… I've been brought low, but what for? I have been troublesome to the core, For change has been a challenging chore Engulf yourself into the iridescent island of haven Eager to reach the highest point in this darksome den Empathy is in your elevating eyes of mirth Escape with me to paradise, away from Earth Drowning in the waters of Aphradere What's been lost has been lost for many a year I want to get out of here… I want to get out of here… Drowning in the waters of Aphradere What's been lost can be found, my darling dear I want to get out of here… I want to get out of here… Cheer up, oh sorrowful waters...waters... Paint a smile upon your sons and daughters You utter words of wisdom and it gushes so beautifully and oh so bright You utter words of lost love and it brushes against me day and night I am disheartened by the removal of your heart against my own I am discouraged by the disapproval of our togetherness and making very little progress in the making in this bottomless mess I am on my own in the woods of my meandering mind, feeling alone I am disdained by the departure of our happiness, abandoned and left behind in the wilderness of meaningless distress Drowning in the waters of Aphradere What's been lost has been lost for many a year I want to get out of here… I want to get out of here… Drowning in the waters of Aphradere What's been lost can be found, my darling dear I want to get out of here… I want to get out of here… I fear for you, my dear… Shed not a single tear… Words were meant to fill the grief-stricken solitude So, let go and let live... Waters draw near as we meet our mesmerizing interlude Let happiness and hope appear Steer your way out of turbulent seas of Aphradere
