Keep both feet on the ground
Still, the attic floods with sound
Four white hooves sink in the mire
Every plea climbs higher, higher
“You have to care,” the pages plead
Love can’t make the body heed
I watch your sorrow leave a stain
So I don’t have to name my pain
Drowning in sorrow
No more tomorrow
The harder I call
The deeper we fall
Once upon a nothing
Nothing left at all
The mirror fills with attic gloom
I throw the book across the room
The book already knows my hands
The storm erases all the lands
Her name stays burning on my tongue
But grief won’t move when I say run
Drowning in sorrow
No more tomorrow
The harder I call
The deeper we fall
Once upon a nothing
Nothing left at all
Charred bones lie beneath their stare
White mane swallowed by despair
Great stone hands hold only air
Wolf teeth name the world stripped bare
One white tower over no land
All that’s left: one grain of sand
Once upon a void
Every dream destroyed
Drowning in sorrow
No more tomorrow
The harder I call
The deeper we fall
Once upon a nothing
Nothing left at all
