Lament

excuse me while i slip into a sickness
among the bones of dreams i've buried here
a thousand eyes are smiling in the darkness
a thousand knives are waiting, drawing near
never to sleep again

the waves are lapping gently on the shoreline
a lonely moon stares dead from high above
i lie upon the sand and make a bed here
among the ashes of our dying love
never to weep again

sorrow won't need to find me tomorrow
never return again
never return
never
