Lantern

As weak as me,
hidden in the dark.
I can't breathe,
I want to come back
come back to the start.
You can't imagine the void,
I can feel the silence, I am alone.
Cut off from the edge of the world,
talking with my remaining thoughts.
I need to cry,
I could fill an ocean;
but I see the light,
I know that you're alive.
I want to die,
so that I don't suffer;
but I can't help,
I hate being useless.
Light it up.

I'm on my knees shouting at no one.
How can I survive without you?
I am running in circles.
Sail on, leave the shore behind.
I need to cry,
I could fill an ocean;
but I see the light,
I know that you're alive.
I want to die,
so that I don't suffer;
but I can't help,
I hate being useless.
Are those cliffs made to conceal
the lantern that's already fading?
This shipwreck isn't meant to last longer,
light will save us wanderers.
I keep digging a hole in the water.
I can see it now, it shines brighter:
let me embrace the warmth of the lantern.
Bleagh
Light it up
I've never been so alone before.
I am so far from relief but maybe there's hope.
I need to cry,
I could fill an ocean;
but I see the light,
I know that you're alive.
I want to die,
so that I don't suffer;
but I can't help,
I hate being useless.
Nothing will bring you back here with me,
but there's more to explore beyond
this dark infinity.
