lyrics

Behind bars of self-infliction
I force letters into words
that implode on impact.

In darkness I become an animal
Drifting in sub-oceanic paradise
You were king of the world
Now you’re king of the sea-
a miry skeleton.

I am anchored
My thoughts run aground
Off world’s end.
Port beckons through the mist
of a thousand lost dreams
Green marker guiding me home.
