Shivering in the deep
My skin turning blue
Stare into the darkness
Under the mist we all gather
The warming mud now washed off
Not alone anymore
Cannot break the mist down under
Couldn’t see this before

Deafening silence
Of nine hundred souls
The moonlight won’t shine in
Rays shatter on thy surface

Never again shall I swim
Never shall I enjoy it more
Never will I be clean again
Never will I be whole again

As I float in the dead lake
Storms gather upon my misery
The rain ruffles the surface
My life suffering from aridity

You whisper the last words
Into my dry soul
Speechless and lifeless
I slowly start to sink

My face buried in dry mud
Suffocating and the bottom
All the tears have been shed
Alone again, I stand before the lake
