The Lone Descent

This constant hum
Ringing out from empty halls
Can you hear me through the rubble, my love?
The bleakest shroud
A coffin well laid
Anointed by our weakness, my love
Embalmed with vacant tears, my love

I brace myself as my heart implodes
Reach out for the sunlight never to unfold
We move through the silence and dive into darkness
Succumb to the emptiness of this lone descent

These absent days
Forged in empty gaze
Shadowed by myself, my love?
A herald from above, my love?
Another bridge has burned
Another lesson learned
Nothing holds sway, my love
If I could I surely would, my love

I brace myself as my heart implodes
Reach out for the sunlight never to unfold
We move through the silence and dive into darkness
Succumb to the emptiness of this lone descent

Oh my little boy, what have you become?
A shadow of yourself, a moth caught in the sun?
We move through the silence and dive into darkness
Succumb to the emptiness of our lone descent
