The Empty Flow - Shamrain

this garden will never bloom

the moments that shone are far

this ocean no longer blue

conceals all beauty

drowns us in gloom

pale ghosts in the shadows

dead faces in the water

barren spaces left behind

melt into waves

in the empty flow

everlasting stains

a quiet solitude

tension wanes within

i am as empty as the ocean

the promises i made for you

part from the seams too soon

pipe-dreams torn apart

slowly pass on

vanish for good

vanish for good

the world is tranquil now

close your weary eyes

let sleep wash away

this desolate reality

tell you a fairy tale

tell realities apart

this is our haven

within this quiet room

you"ll be safe

until the dreams escape

the dreams always escape

am i still alive?
