I can pretend I’m not real
The shore is growing distant
The planks beneath me break
I sink into the deepest dark
And beg the stars to take
Me, into their infinite silence
Where it is quiet upon quiet
In your still glass orbs
Where no one can hear me cry
(chorus)
The lighthouse
At the edge of my world
Has gone dark,
I break myself on the rocky shores
Sink beneath the waves
Drowned in the downpour
Of my own tears
An unending rain
Falling and filling an ocean
Of unbreathable pain
Your light went out forever
I could close my eyes
The black is black is black
Like ashes against a night sky
A darkened lighthouse
At the edge of the world
Is all that’s left
Of this drowning girl
