At Water's Edge

AT WATER'S EDGE
 At water's edge I drift to sleep
 At water's edge I wake
 My only thought is thinking that
 My thoughts will overtake
 My sanity, my sanity
 Encapsuled in a spiral
 Colored crimson remnant
 Of falsified denial
 Reason battles reason
 Across a desert full
 Of purity, of purity
 Held behind a wall
 I know that I could climb it
 I know I would not fall
 But how pure is the purity
 That doesn't heed my call?
 At water's edge I'm dreaming
 Of the things I should have said
 Unspoken words that haunt me
 Drowning at the water's edge
 Perhaps it's just illusion
 I see things that aren't there
 But what I saw in your eyes
 Was enough to make me care
 Expectations falter
 (I am at your feet)
 Disappointments rise
 (I am at your feet)
 Something deep within me
 (I am at your feet)
 Does destroy me as it dies
 (I am at your feet)
 Looking in the mirror
 Of the water on the sand
 Perhaps I just imagined
 That I'm better than I am
 It wouldn't be the first time
 It sure won't be the last
 That I pander to my ego
 And watch purity go past
 In some imagined future
 At water's edge I stand
 Asking you to join me
 Reaching out my hand
 No matter how I want you
 No matter how I try
 You will never answer
 I can only wonder why
 Expectations falter
 (I am at your feet)
 Disappointments rise
 (I am at your feet)
 Something deep within me
 (I am at your feet)
 Does destroy me as it dies
 (I am at your feet)
