A barren heart
Grown through decay
What fervour is wrought out?
Thrown to the tide

I lay myself down
Reflect, on all my sins
That I've done in this life
Or the ones yet, to commit

I buried myself to find
The depths of which these roots do bind
Streams above, and dirt below
The dark shall now entwine me

From the edges
Of this bitter fall
Down the same old paths as before
Following the call

I buried myself to find
The depths of which these roots do bind
My wings burn
As I fly far too close to the sun

And now
One more time I try
To salvage this wreckage
Before the embers
Turn to flame

These roots go deeper than anything engrained
The misery of memories that haunt me
And the pain they bring

Overshadows any joy
Overshadows the brief light that shines
Overshadows my loss
Overshadows all other pain in my life

I clawed the earth deep enough
And I found hell
