Subglacial

There's never time It's the delusion we abide Enraptured in the cruel embrace of silence once more Waltzing with the bastard child of dread, inaction While the specter seizes ground I hear it call me, I feel it beckoning Tightening its grip on my neck Tension creeps in, siphons all the air Eyes that burrow but will never meet Flooding marrow with a potent fear (Gaping black maw that absorbs my being) When the night withdraws and the ice all thaws I'm still freezing inside When the trees bear fruit and the ground is lush I'm still hollow, despondent I've given into fear I'll take this adage and burn it I've carried this all along It's weighed me down When the sun shines bright and defeats the night I'll feel humble, at peace When the lake is still and the waters are clear I'll know I've found safe passage I can feel life's embrace Unearthing light I've been craving There was never time In the delusion we subside
