Drift

I close my eyes
To float through the black
And forget time
To go and visit shadows
In the corners of my mind

We speak of fortune
Speak of famine
Facing darkness
And the need for light

But those that have lingered long
Old and bitter

Have forgotten all that shines
Too far gone
In the depths of losing sight

Tethered to failure
Weathered in shame
A look in the mirror
And forgetting your name
With all of the trouble
You've gone through to forget
The turn from shadow to silhouette

I close my eyes
To float through the black
And forget time

Drifting along through
This land of the lost
And losing my way
In search of an answer
Clouded and vague

Tethered to failure
Weathered in shame
A look in the mirror
And forgetting your name
With all of the trouble
You've gone through to forget
Changing from shadow to silhouette

I close my eyes
To float through the black
And forget time
