Trip to the Sea

Aboard a sinking ship

Sailing on a do or die trip

Caught in a whirlpool of chaos

Facing the chasm of fear none can cross

 

All my hopes and dreams brought along

Morphing into shadows, I no longer belong

Grasped and thrown down to the shrieking ocean

Drowning on my doubt and turbulent emotion

 

Hand reaches out toward the dying light

Dreams all fading as I sink in the night

Darkness embraces me, water clogs any breath

Eyes slowly closing, approaching the beach of death

 

With a shock, my hopes resurface, igniting my heart

Flames burning away the waves keeping me apart

From the future, I will create with these ashes

Phantoms rise to battle, I set off the matches
