Drowned


I’ve been tired physically and now am tired mentally;
And there’s no one to talk to that will listen
No one to hear that might understand
Tired and wretched soul just yearning for a warm heart
To reach out and grasp so firmly as though it must last
One thousand, one million years
Sorrow and joy fill the sky but I cannot!
No, I must but I cannot hold on to something so inexplicable
So innate in its beauty that I must, I have to hold on

Time wasted, love released onto a cold rock of a heart
It bounces back day by day, night after night
But then like a faucet turned open my cold heart pours forth
Water so pure, so tasteful that one who drinks of it might feel as though
They were just reborn
But it is in the death of my rock that I am reborn
The drowning of it that makes it anew
I have drowned back to life

(2006)
