The moon burns bright,
the sign comes clouded 
upside down I lie awhile 
see it straight 
a road unto itself 
my flaming hell, 
my fading oblivion. 
Straight down we follow 
the glow, 
hope 
flickers distant 
a hollow echo.
The river to the ocean 
always flows, 
the moon to the sun 
I always follow.
I swim the deep, 
I lose my feet, 
silent are the screams 
drowning out my dreams. 
I sacrifice my heart 
to the sea, my mind 
to the desert beyond me
for in the heat I see all three,
every piece shatters unique.
