Drained* in stereo
Eyes toward vacated heavens
Deadlight escaping death

To sit and wait upon the edge of the great nothing
Arms wrapped and fingers entwined
Watching the sun dive down
Dimming into obsidian

Mountains erode to sand
And water overtakes
Stormy oceans of desolation

"We are a glimpse in the eye of cosmic decay
Dictating the future words of voices unspoken"

...I've wished the world away
Too many times to count...

I've watched the last days
And the tides change their ways
And the skies cease to be


I've seen the world die
But once in my life

And once was *just enough

There are no footprints in the wet sand of this barren lonely island,no one comes here,there's nothing to see but wet sand,the sea and the shadow of me.
I am at last lost,tossed aside from the realm,a master of no one,at the helm but I am long gone and well out of it.
I sit here and wait,I do not know what will come,perhaps tomorrow the sun will rise
Perhaps tomorrow I'll realise that this sanctuary is how it has to be and so I wait to see.
As the wet sands start to dry,I eye the sea and see the sky and it all fits into one and once again I am long gone.
Only echoes at the shore remind me that there is so much more to keep me here,
I fear at last that this is the last and I have passed beyond the pale,I shall ready this ship to sail
and bid this lonely place
goodbye.

We smile at each other,
not that simple smile of warmth from passing someone on the street,
but the smile of acceptance and love,
the smile that makes you warm on a cloudy miserable day.
When we smile and gaze into each other's eyes,
we know at that moment that we are one and the heavy world cannot touch us.
