Beside Still Waters

Cast adrift upon these dark and storm - tossed seas
Clouds of chaos hide the stars as land fades out of sight behind me
Stranded on the shoals I linger
Fleeting sense of sanctuary
Before the rising tide sweeps me into the storm again
My body floats to the surface
Borne by waves of consequence
If this is really all there is
I would gladly see an end
Put to all of this frustration
Animosity and strife
This ill-fated voyage
On the darkened seas of life
Ever rising desperation
As the last light fades
Clutching only emptiness
My pain never betrays
The slow suffocation
My conscience holds me down
Break the windows of my soul
So I can finally drown
Laying open arteries
I watch life drain away
Fading glimpses of the smiles
That I tried to save for better days
Now I draw the veil of silence
Across my haunted eyes
As everything that's left of me
Is taken by the tide
Ever waiting patiently
The darkness warm and safe
She is not my enemy
She softly breathes my name
Gather darkness, comfort me
Close my tired eyes
Lead me beside still waters
so I can rest a while
But there is no pain in this quiet place
Here beside still waters
I can breathe again
A moment of peace as tides of pain
swell and rise within
I walk among the tombstones
In the graveyard of my memories
Where rotten flowers feed the earth
And long dead hearts still bleed
The current running stronger now
As I turn my face into the wind
And it scatters some painful memories
As chaos welcomes me home again
The pain returns like a lover
The maelstrom has made us as one
Together we are carried away
To where only dark currents run
The siren song of self destruction
Echoes in my head
I've followed her advice before
And somehow I've survived instead
My lungs still draw this clean air
As chaos sets me free
Only change is permanent
So there's Hope while there's still air to breathe
Ever waiting patiently
The darkness warm and safe
She is not my enemy
She softly breathes my name
Gather darkness, comfort me
Close my tired eyes
Lead me beside still waters
so I can rest a while
