All the seas have dried up
And the land has shrivelled,
Like a burnt page
That lost its bet to the engulfing flames.
The air smells of ash and smoke.
Don’t walk upto me with your tears
I carry a fire. I annihilate.
All the seas have dried up
And the land has shrivelled,
Like a burnt page
That lost its bet to the engulfing flames.
The air smells of ash and smoke.
Don’t walk upto me with your tears
I carry a fire. I annihilate.
I wish we could be just souls
Be, without being.
I wish we could love without form
Feel, without being called out.
What is courage, but to go on
Losing, despite knowing
We’re not lost, but the wasted path leads nowhere.
