Dreams built of cloud and dust
All my fears corrode to rust
The past filled with pain and lust
There isn't a man that I can trust.

Leaving this world behind,
I don't need eyes to see
The truth is hidden from the blind,
but it is clear to me.

Developing as a whole,
being filled with emptiness,
I grew myself out of a whole,
A beautiful part of the abyss.

My eyes filled with love,
look into yours,
all I see is lifelessness
I'm sad that you can't see value in me
Misguided by your selfishness

To be great is a secret
Until that secret is revealed
I sweat and grit in all my labor,
hoping my beauty will be unveiled.

So let's cheer to this moment, let's sip some wine,
let's cheer to this lonely abyss,
for what it has brought fourth is so divine
that we must taste it's emptiness.
