Progress

Bursting bubbles of everlasting commandments

Decrypting currents of raging water

My fears are slipping apart from me

Breath is faltering / moving in the dark

I find myself beyond

This blackwater nightmare:

Shunning drifting towards absence

I find myself now clear

Ah, collapsing ideals

Lullabies bleeding meaning

Are these the dreams I dreamt?

Or are they just sympathetic suggestions?

Ah, approaching their embrace

Lullabies deep within me

These are the dreams I dreamt

If not, then I will make them mine

I’ve discovered new shades of blue

I’ve met with mysterious creatures

But the light that gracefully shines through the unknown

Has rampant strength, and in despair I burn

I’m blind, and I crumble gripping, reaching in vain to what used to hold me

But it is long gone and I’m left with nothing but crushing thoughts

I stand over reminiscence

Forming spikes that break through the unwilled

My only chance to seal with bravery, ah!

My nostalgic void! My poisonous comfort!

I passed ferocious maelstroms

I endured through icy currents

My core is still ablaze

My gaze meets blurry stars

I’m craving for silhouettes

I’m starving for the unseen

My core is dripping flames

My gaze meets the mighty icefield

I am faced with my birth and death

My heights will fade through grandeur

My foundations will stay strong

As I reach this frosty barrier
