I travel roads of deep despair,
chasing a shimmer of hope on the far horizon, forever out of reach, it's sullen beauty lingers at dusk, calling
yet never yielding to my touch.
Time sleeps within the darkness
it stretches and wanes within waves of poison doubt
speaking my conscience
killing the last of me.
Knowledge presents itself slowly
that caustic drip
an ancient thirst
to covet moons.

I travel roads of deep despair,
chasing a shimmer of hope on the far horizon, forever out of reach, it's sullen beauty lingers at dusk, calling
yet never yielding to my touch.
Time sleeps within the darkness
it stretches and wanes within waves of poison doubt
speaking my conscience
killing the last of me.
Knowledge presents itself slowly
that caustic drip
an ancient thirst
to covet moons.
