DOCUMENT
In stillnessA silent weight
Pausing as the minutes each evaporate
A desire
To leave a scar
To raise a voice from within the dark
Decaying
Cascading
Existence falls apart
Around me
Within me
So I must leave my mark
This is a document
To prove that I was here
This is a document
To prove I was at all
And when my voice ceases to be
Will the echo still ring loudly?
And when there's nothing left of me
Will my memory still go on?
A flicker
Transitory state
An echo of an instance that burns away
A moment
A shard of time
A solitary thread that threatens to unwind
Decaying
Cascading
Existence falls apart
Around me
Within me
So I must leave my mark
This is a document
To prove that I was here
This is a document
To prove I was at all
And when my voice ceases to be
Will the echo still ring loudly?
And when there's nothing left of me
Will my memory still go on?
Distant
An approaching age
When this document falls beneath another's gaze
Too late
We have lost the dawn
The signal's loud and clear, but the transmitter's gone
Decaying
Cascading
Existence falls apart
Around me
Within me
So I must leave my mark
This is a document
To prove that I was here
This is a document
To prove I was at all
And when my voice ceases to be
Will the echo still ring loudly?
And when there's nothing left of me
Will my memory still go on?
UNDERNEATH THE ICE
I can feel the violenceSpill across the floor
Mys eyes have grown too clouded
To see it anymore
Fading into nothing
Turning into steam
Left in desparation
With nothing to redeem
Underneath the ice I find
A place to rest my weary mind
The cold deep water numbs my pain
Until I can face myself again
Waiting for redemption
That never seems to come
Hands reach beneath the surface
But I don't know where from
I'm not ready to return yet
I just need a moment more
So I can try to remember
What it is I came here for
Underneath the ice I find
A place to rest my weary mind
The cold deep water numbs my pain
Until I can face myself again
Sinking Fast
Too dark to see
The buzzing din
Envelopes me
Too late now
Nowhere to go
I'm sinking in
The undertow
