Call Me Ishmael

Call me faceless, November suppresses my vitality
I grow grim, at comfort in the challenger deep
I have withdrawn from this life as it hangs over me.
I am tangled in this notion of being "all right."

This ghost haunts me. I see it in the light and behind my eyes.
I hope to find closure on the voyage setting sail.
To put an end to this once and for all.

To my back an ocean miles between
(Who I am and what I know) I'm fading away
I'm trapped in a maze of things I could have done.
Why can't I see the distance is killing me.

I want my life back, my happiness restored
I wish I recognized the pain I felt before.
It is too late. I can't go back and undo the mistakes

The connection I have to the person that I use to be
Obsession is the only structure to the void I feel.

From hell's heart I will fight. For hate's sake I will spit my last breath
"Thus, I give up the spear!"
Let go why can't I let it go
All I see is white regardless of the shipwreck around me.

I want my life back, my happiness restored
I wish I recognized the pain I felt before.
It is too late. I can't go back and undo the mistakes

I can't let this drown me. Find the strength to let the rope go.
Happiness isn't written on any map. True places never are.
