Found a river

While following a cloud

Distracted, watching blue

Didn't hear the sound

That echoed through the air

At the fall of every step

The crunching of the bones called out to me, Beware

But I somehow didn't care.



Blinded by the color of the sky

Reflected on the river water

The farther that I looked the more beautiful it became

The mighty river sky, only the earth could hope to tame

Or so it thought...

Finally I saw the bones

Lying stripped and bare

I knelt on the bones of the damned

Cold and clean, everywhere

But I somehow didn't care



Touched the water with my hand

Never felt such beautiful agony before

Or even so alive

Couldn't live without more

Touched my face to my reflection

Swallowed only mist

Something filled me to the brim

Hollow, empty bliss

Though completely unsustained

The thirst i couldn't bear

Though river bliss would turn to mist

These banks I'd die to share

I then began to care



This empty bliss of swallwed mist

Illusion, glamour, fariy kiss

How did I let it come to this

My aim was true

But still I missed...

I tried to break the damning curse

Of the river bliss untame

But my resolve just wasn't there

So on my knees I shall remain

Till my bones lie stripped and bare

Unless I learn to win this game

I wish I didn't care...
