A Graceless Departure

About surrender, loss, grief

Howling at the moon 

The dead turn in their graves

I've been feeling broken for days

Punching out at the ghosts

As the blood runs dry in my veins

All shadows encircle me

And I'm weeping for a lost cause

Demons are my only company

Embraced in cold grip of claws

Accelerating to an unclear fate

There's no point turning around

The lighthouse long extinguished

I'm struggling to concentrate

No sense of existence in this town 

My heartbeat slowly diminishing 

Stars bear witness to my downfall

A graceless departure from Earth

Spiralling down through every sphere

Death brings unwelcome gifts

But I know I can't stay here

Glancing in the mirror

What worlds are better than this?

Heaven is hell after the crucifix

My reflection is sinister in my eyes

A castle falling brick by brick

Extracting my soul piece by piece

Now that I'm ready to drown

My ship crashing now upon the rocks

My heart begins it's final retreat 

There's no life left in this town 

Tell me now, what I haven't lost 

We can pretend that there is a God

Is he blind or just cruel

To let all of the angels fall

We can admit it's all over now

There's no way but down

Let me go, let me drown
