River of despair

Whispers ripple through the blackened tide

Silent shadows drown the fragile light

Faint echoes in the static, drifting wide

Veins of water carve the night

Liquid fears beneath the surface hide

Trembling currents, fleeting sights

Gravity pulling, softly I fade

In a mirror's crack, my truth's betrayed

Shadows stretch, entwined in shade

Lost in the hush of a masquerade

Sinking, sinking in the river of despair

Catch the weight I cannot bear

Spiral into the eye, a shadowed stare

In the whirl, I drown without a prayer

Broken whispers, fractured streams

Fragments of forgotten dreams

Phantom stars in hollow gleam

Silent screams without a theme

Gravity pulling, softly I fade

In a mirror's crack, my truth's betrayed

Shadows stretch, entwined in shade

Lost in the hush of a masquerade

Sinking, sinking in the river of despair

Catch the weight I cannot bear

Spiral into the eye, a shadowed stare

In the whirl, I drown without a prayer

Heavy air, a tide of static spins

Lucid nightmares pull me in

Fractured tides beneath my skin

Lost within the gravity of sin

Waters crest and fall again

Shadows whisper in the rain

Fading echoes, a faint refrain

Drowning deep in silent pain
