What is this existence of mine?
What am I within, am I cruel?
Is there time to know my mind?
I sleep with reticence that blights the moon
The stars all darken when I close my eyes
And soon the rain will flood my days
My heart's become a maze
An enigma I despise

Hark, the fleeting of gold beads
Like seeds of centuries dropping down
My time is slipping past
Ashamed, I've drugged myself and lost my crown
What day will be my last?
Come find me in the earth
Like a kiss is your shadow cast
Upon my fragile self, what's it worth?

When I am gone and your tears come
To wash my visage, soft and clear
Come take a match and light it quick
Forget you knew I had been born
Let light grow thick
Let darkness die with me, don't cry
For what died with the tide
Upon Neptune's shores

I turned around to see my future
And no one was there.
