This Desert of Souls

The stars have fallen once more, The horizon seems so hopeless and disheartened
The planets become misaligned, The sun awaits its moment for all time
The fear has become realized, As the skies above burst into cloudless grey
Tonight has become confused with tomorrow, Lie with me beneath this illusion

Speak into my ears, My eyes need not your harsh meanings
Hold my hands, They tremble and my knees quiver on steady ground
Kiss my lips, Remind me I am alive
I don’t know if I can continue this charade, I have lost myself in this damaged role

The dirt has become quicksand, The trees shed their leaves with such despairing reluctance
The rivers overflow, The rocks are consumed and pray for the sun’s rays once more
The seconds tick by, The clocks are stopped and there is no sand remaining in the hourglass
Tomorrow has become confused with yesterday, Lie with me above such deception

Be my crutch, I can no longer stand on my own
Be my home, I can no longer be alone
Be my peace, This war has consumed me
Be my all, I have been lost in this desert of souls
