Unknown

What do I hold empty in my hand
The loss of a soul, withering with the land
Nothing is lost, torment left in vain
The seas cut my eyes, but thoughts still remain
I walk with a limp, no reason at all
Skin melting off as the darkness it calls
I look to the sky, there is nothing below
Run away backwards from everything I know
Moutains are crumbling, pebbles hit my face
Swimming up to try to escape this place
I don't understand, it dosen't make sense
In my mind the confusion so intense
Floating along, only emptiness here
What should I do without consequences severe
I will rest with myself, deep within the dirt
Crying alone in my silent comfort
