Dark Blue - Allison Crowe

Circle around the ocean

target where I’ll drown

spotlight find me drifting

bloated and upside-down

floating away from prison

shattering my shell

finally getting to escape

floating away from my hell

and in my soul

you are my after life

that last face I’ll see before

my dying light

and even though I taste your tears

you rid me of all mine

and even though I hate this place

I could never leave you behind

I feel you

and in this a whirlpool

and in this a maze

an unending battle

in a tireless haze

ah, raise your swords in fear now

and forget your tears

lashing out in anger

filtering through your fears

I see you

I know that

I need you

and want…

and so now I’ll leave this

as my last request

don’t you ever forget…
