I'll burn this bridge,
Its already crumbling
There's a thousand more.
I'll swim if I have to.
As I fall into the ocean,
Lost at sea,
I remember where I need to go:
Two steps forward; one step back.
Gotta wait, gotta wait
For those lights, please save
Me.

On board these ships, its not the same.
Expecting what I had with you,
We'll cross paths again
When time's better,
Maybe in another life;
This one's so finite.
We are limited by time.

It rocks and withers, and I'll have to depart.
Comrades come, while the rest leave.
We disappear and reappear,
I rent this terrain once more.
My feet still walk,
Stronger yet weak,
Cautious yet confident.

Finally do I see
A new bridge to cross.
You pass, we smile
Silent memories
Remind us why we're here,
Compassion fills our hearts
And there's all that that I see.

But here, the crystal ball glows,
It wanes into the hour,
The luminescence fades,
Our memories devoured,
The screen of our future,
Turn into grains of white noise.
I had a fight with a friend and decided to write this, it is the lyrics to a song but it also functions as a poem. I was inspired by the Simpson's episode of the lighthouse and the loneliness and isolation of it. I was also inspired somewhat of Pirates of the Caribbean possibly, maybe. By BjΓΆrk. Just kidding. Enjoy.
