I’m back here again, Sunk in the gray.I wear it well, This cloak, this shell, Draped beneath a Shroud of midnight cloth I used to lie awake And count the stars, But even they–burning, Luminous–blink out, the eye only catches an Echo, a whisper; It burned out years ago, before we even knew it was there I’m back here again, Sunk deep in the gray, This kingdom of the dead It is what I most dread, waking up and knowing i have no place to go.
