The feeling of gravity
holding me to the ground
It’s the anchor
dragging my ship down
down
down
Into the depths
useless to fight
Swords crash
in tune to the
beat of my heart
The sea shows no mercy
no pity for me
My lonely road
ends in the fate
of a ship long ago,
wrecked
sunk
destroyed
The Titanic’s fate,
the facts and the myths,
the stories they tell
The horror of an ocean grave
That old accursed ship
It’s the gray lining
against my silver
Then again
I’ve always been silver
But as a human being I’m
almost cashed out
Almost done with the purpose
I’m serving
My essence lies weak, dull, broken
in the snow
I’m coming closer
to the end
At least it’s an end
At least I don’t have to pretend
anymore
That I’m riding a skylight,
flying high, dancing through life
At least my ship
is finally retiring
to the hall of fame
The sea shows no mercy
no pity for me
My lonely road
ends in the fate
of a ship long ago,
wrecked
sunk
destroyed
