He Who Saw the Deep

Followed the shoreline until night turned to day And I'm waiting and waiting for you Wasting the hours given to me by a sage As I'm wasting and wasting away Calling the kings and queens by name as I sing As I sing and I sink as my sorrow crashes in waves But tomorrow this beauty will fade into a haze Light gives way to grey Fall into sleep as I hide in my haven, the shade Fading and fading away Current once dormant Now pulls me into a delayed transmission I wish for my sorrows to crash into waves But tomorrow this beauty will fade into a haze Light gives way to grey Descend into madness A city of light Immersed in a capsule constricted by time A fountain of sadness surrounded by fire How empty this vessel How hollow this shrine Wasting the hours, surrendered, oblivious today Fall into the center, I crawl into space again Magic words you say, ceiling gives way to the sky Absolving my sin, day gives way to grey
