The Sea Hides My Soul


Burn my bones in a blaze of glory

And throw my ashes in the sea

My pale body will fade away

Into the light of the moon

And my soul will hide in it's shadow

Where the sun never touches

Drifting, floating, in perpetuam,

On the tide of the unknown,

Hanging by the stars in the sky,

With oblivion lurking underneath.

My stringy hair soaked in fear

Being pulled down by the sirens

And the melody that they sing

Is not beautiful

I can hear the agony coiled under their skin

Their talons rip helplessly

And I don't feel it.

My soul is already gone,

My body is a burning ship,

Only the steering wheel is left.

Where was my compass?

I tried to make one

Out of little sharp bones

And the salty tears I cried

Hoping that home might find me instead.

But it is okay.

I will drift listlessly forever.

I am not sad.

Nor am I happy.

I am dead.

But that energy of my heart lingers,

Hiding where it belongs,

It's on fire with life,

And burning with the passions,

Of my past life.

I am content.

I am not dead.
