Monk by the Sea

He walks in silence
He walks alone
He feels its absence
As the air rips through his bones
He turns towards it
He looks away
Lost in answers
Though the questions still remain

Staring and believing that it all will end this way
Trying while deceiving forcing squeezing those who play
Tortured standing withered
As he's pulled on through the rain
Wind obscured a vision hoping He will end this pain
He'll lend a hand

He sees the distance
He feels the waves
In careless dreaming
But still fading with the day
He wants to grasp it
To feel its pain
The airs so calm now
As he spins around again

Clutching close inflicted staring blankly at the sky sky
Turning slowly inward vain attempts at reasons why
Burning with disillusion and desire just to see
Hopeless in acceptance that he's there to only be
He'll lend a hand

He sways so slowly
He falls on knees
The blood of others
Willing hoping just to please
He shouts at nothing
He screams again
Lost cries of anguish
Swallowed silent by the rain

Deception through creation causing faith in disbelief
Steadfast in opinions to be lost in gorgeous grief
Tears replacing answers falling dripping through his hands
Sand and waves fly crashing splitting reasons not to stand
He'll lend a hand
He'll lend a hand

And all who touch me
And all who see me
And all who heal me
May my secrets ever keep

And all who know me
And all who need me
And all who spite me
May they never understand

And those who kiss me
And those who catch me
And those who kill me
May the never feel it deep

And those who hear me
And those who want me
And those who soothe me
May they never question why
