Broken Hymn

With every passing day
 I've endured my mistakes
 And cursed the failing light
 That it should forever fade
 I stand now in the ashes
 Of a world become a tomb
 Every thought, another grave
 Interred with memories of you
 Bury me in my agony
 Drown me underneath all that I've lost
 I've grown tired of the light
 Of holding on to ghosts
 And longing for lost days
 I'm faced with my failures
 When I close my eyes
 I'll pray for all of this to end
 Lowered down
 Into the waiting Earth
 A veil of soil
 Concealing your pain
 One day
 I can only pray
 That time corrodes
 This memory of you
 Cast away
 From this grey world
 Into oblivion
 And constellations
 Take this Earth
 From beneath me
 "Iris!"
 "Please, come back to me!"
 "Come back to me!"
 I've grown tired of the light
 Of holding on to ghosts
 And, longing for lost days
 I'm faced with my failures
 When I close my eyes
 I'll pray for all of this to end
