Oh, how like leaves on frozen soil
my spirit weeps in sweet turmoil...
How, with night's delight embraced,
can your presence flee in haste,
and leave me here, until I die,
with all my frozen tears to cry?
The morning light echoes your name,
sweet yet bitter all the same
Oh how like dying, this despair,
this infernal midday glare.
How I long now for the night...
How I cower from the light...
Now I flee back into shade,
into this darkness that I've made,
back again from whence I came,
sweet yet bitter all the same
Content now in my solitude,
content forever to elude
this light, which (ever painfully)
reveals my bruises perfectly.
I hide now from this pain I feel,
without a hope I'll ever heal.
I bow my head in deepest shame,
sweet yet bitter all the same
Invitation
Come dreams
Come darkness
Come gray and grim despair
Come cruel years
Come stillborn tears
Come wicked jester of the midnight fair
Come dreams
Come madness
Come foul shade of night
Come withered eyes
Come crown of lies
Come swift assassin of the morning light
Come dreams
Come darkness
Come shadows of my past
Come silently
Come violently
Come and make this madness last
K.
She's the dark that lives within me
a flickering shade
from which I've made
these empty promises she spins me
She's the moon that haunts the night
a deep desire
a funeral pyre
that sets the bloated night alight
She's all I have and all I am
All I'll ever understand
All that ever lies between me
All I see and all I dream
All that I have ever been
She's the dark that lives within me
A Sadness...
There is a sadness in all things
in the first rays of the sun
in the dream that has begun
in every song your beauty sings
There is a sadness in all things
in the emptiness of youth
in the broken bones of truth
in all the driftwood which the current brings
There is a sadness in all things
in the withering of the flower
the relentless passing hour
in every feather of my broken wings
Mermaid Metamorphosis
Let me drown in deepest sorrow
The shadows' weight has brought me down
Release me from this bright tomorrow
And in your waters let me drown
Let me die here in your ocean
In your tidewaves let me lie
Submerge me in your gentle motion
And in your waters let me die
Erode me till I am no longer
Obscure me till my light is dim
Dissolved I will be that much stronger
And in your waters I will swim
Wash the shadows from my face
Restore the brightness in my eyes
Untangle all that I embrace
And from your waters I will rise
