Stagnant by the starlight,
Reflective of my dynasty
Blinded by the clouds,
Shadowing my summer sea

I thought I could make it out of here,
Haze through fog, the pathways aren’t so clear
Drown in limelight, I will sink alone
Heart of paper, and my eyes of stone

Isn’t it peaceful, to be alone?
Self sabotage, seldom destruct
Slice through the silence, with the warmth of home
Years late, stow away

Running into sunshine
Step out of the darker days
Silence getting loud,
Peaceful ain’t an escape

Drown in limelight, I will sink alone
Heart of paper, and my eyes of stone
