Watch the pattern ever changing
In the tapestry of fate
Weft, weave and interlace
Silken strands that fabricate
Outside looking in -- observing
Feelings that I find unnerving
Dying with my eyes wide open
The endless void that lies beyond
With gaping jaws it beckons me
I cast my worldly flesh aside and
Plunge into eternity
Once light hearted I departed
On my quest, hope courted
Now a new love is my true love
And her name is misery
Eyes as dark as
Gems that filled my mind with awe
Enthrall my heart
Distract me from her milk-white hands
Stained red with gore
And I plummet like a shooting-star
That shines so bright yet falls so far
Shafts of moonlight guide me
To the world that waits below
Helpless and alone.
By words that were best left unspoken
For now I am shackled to sadness
By chains that are tempered with madness.
And like a flower that refuses to bloom
You deprive the world of your smile
It’s a cruel thing you’re doing, how vile
Like the chimp who calls the jester a clown
When I tell myself how it was all worthwhile
My knees fall on to the ground
I can’t find hope and I’m losing faith
How I wish you were here
To still the howling wind
Calm the storm within
To rescue me
Caught in the torrid flow
Someone save my sinking soul
Oh how my love I have fallen
Such a long way down
Someone rescue me
