My Dying Bride

An unfortunate journey
Through a bleak sea of
loneliness
I carved through the waves
of grief
In a black vastness of self
doubt
I have never felt so alone
So pitiful and wretched
and low
I'm tried by a terrible wind
The misery and the pains
blow
Fill my vast sails of ruin
Steer me toward a bleak end
A horizon of purples and
reds
The still waters of my
welcome end
The clouds of grey come
overhead
A storm will hunt me down
And rip the guts out of my
body
That I would surely drown
The unforgiving wind
searches
And lashes me like a whip
The self-pity overwhelms me
My heart sinks like a ship
Thrashing out at torment
and pain
The maddened sea engulfs
me
I let myself be swallowed up
The magnificent weight
upon me
Deeper i go, deeper down
Didn't think it could get any
blacker
