Ebb/Flow
John Carbone
Brighter souls have stripped me of my worth
Tangible, yes but only at first
Broken nails, tear mere holes in my earth
Bottomless, and strange visions they birth
Waking dream, a mirage of what was
Fooled to think that it won't end in blood
Hold on tight to someone
It all flows away
Don't fear how I'll die someday
My life's been a fruitless waste
And I long to see you again
The ebb and flow of the waves in the sea
Paints her picture, only to mock me
I await her return at the shore
Know in my heart, this realm holds her no more
I long for the other side
Hold on tight to someone
It all flows away
Don't fear how I'll die someday
My life's been a fruitless waste
And I long to feel you again
