deliver me oh self
from the confines of this being
take me to delve
into the darkness blind but seeing
clearly the path of past
not to be tread anymore
an ocean of stars so vast
shipless voyage leaving this shore
why do you cling?
what holds you here
desire is a wreteched thing
that brings only a tear
paid for in pain
a needed release
my tears fall as rain
my heart the wretched beast
deliver me oh self
I am want to leave
this place of happiness felt
to rest eternal a final reprieve
