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
