Shape Of Despair
Return to the Void
1. Return to the Void
Let the grey enter
Wear its mark
Carry this uncertainty
The Shroud of all
Feel the distance
Unburdened of hope
We contain the ending
Let me return
Return to the void
Let me return
Let me return
2. Dissolution
Close to the edge
Of disappearance
Faint features
Still existing
Yet somehow
Drawn towards
The greater absence
Immersed in loss
Of something
That once was
And finally gave way
To the most
Distant darkness
A touch of languid depression
A wound of conscience
The slow dissolution
Of existence
3. Solitary Downfall
All alone
At the limit
Of everything
As these serene
Mute autumns
Pass through me
And all of that silence
Now growing
Within
Chained
To this feeling
Into something
There are no words for
Stranded in thoughts
As the darkness gathers
Leaving the room of my voice
Watching from the outside
My solitary downfall
4. Reflection in Slow Time
Long after
It was too late
To find back
All meaningful
The glow long gone
The spark faded (and smothered)
And though I saw
The others
Advance and vanish into the distance
I chose to stay behind
To wander astray
To remain unfound
To merge with these dark thoughts
As I saw and felt this existence
As mere reflection
In slow time
5. Forfeit
See no longer
A way out from this
The effect of feelings
All lost their strength
All lost their meaning
Sinking horizons
Drowning the view
Sense no longing
Over life's
Slowly smothering
Fires
Overcome
By the futility
The emptiness of defeat
To finally yield for
The acceptance
Of forfeit
6. The Inner Desolation
As if through the mist
Fading slow
From this moment
From this life
Of no fulfilment
Of no discovery
Only the passing
Only the flow…
Leaving from all
That once had a meaning
To reach deep
For the inner desolation
To awaken the emptiness
That was always there
Here, in the stillness
A Yearning
For an ending
