I've been searching,
Under a starless winters night.
This loneliness, a cold reflection of the storm in my veins.
Slowly killing me.
One could only hope.

I've been searching,
Under a blood red moon, in the stormy seas of the pacific.
Your footsteps disappearing along the crests of loveless wave after wave.

Kill the the predictable,
The common, Kill the stereotype.
Kill themselves.

Drowning, they're killing themselves.

To reflect themselves, merely themselves.
