A Tide Unturning

Time slows down
A longing heart decays
With heavy rain no longer on its shores

Blackened woods
Remind us who we are
As branches crack beneath our feet once more
Once more

No reason to forgive this
Bleak, unending life
Deeper in stagnation
A dark moonless night
And truth that hits like waves now
I drown myself to believe
And in these darkened waters let it go

Sunken minds
And cruel, unchanging hearts
This existence rotting from its core
From its core

Signs in the distance of what lies ahead
Paths unbroken lead tom the edge
Lifeless vessels on a motionless tide
This can't carry us into the next life beyond

No reason to forgive this
Bleak, unending life
Deeper in stagnation
A dark moonless night
And truth that hits like waves now
I drown myself to believe
And in these darkened waters let it go
Let it go
