Forever drifting further from each others
We wander lost, estranged, beyond the borders
Detached, awry, we're floating out of sight
Propelled away, escaping warmth and light
Retreating to the outer wastes so cold
Surrounded by a smell of dust and mold
These unknown forces draw us in for good
And existential dread becomes the mood
Familiar voices scream and scold aloud
By silence amplified, by fear allowed
In fits of woe we're slowly brought to heels
A poison from within that never kills
A moth who's withered wings now fail and tire
Beyond the reach of any mortal fire
In darker realms so far above the ground
Where nay a spark or flash is to be found
Aloof in isolation letting go
Destroyed, devoid of any shine or glow
Chaotic winds in circles gather round
The agonizing neverending sound
A thousand dying screams...
Still grasping at the seams
Of all bygone delight
Of times so full and bright
Forever out of reach...
