Spelled In Waters

Phrases laughing right in your face
Writing depth into this shallowness
Carving a name just to leave a trace
A body resounding with hollowness

Meaning, please come onto me
Explain these deeds of vanity

With every failure and every falter
May my name be spelled in waters

So many words, but nothing to say
Still I'm waiting for a sense to come
I am silent
Words took my voice away
Tamed and harmless I am
All alone

This empty page best remains forsaken
Describing roads already taken

Echoing what was heard before
Irrelevance immortalized
Please try to remember me
"Someone who has always tried"
But uttered words do not live long
Silence will engulf this song
