An unfortunate journey
Through a bleak sea of loneliness
I carved through the waves of grief
In a black vastness of self-doubt
I have never felt so alone
So pitiful and wretched and low
I'm tried by a terrible wind
The misery and the pains blow
The clouds of grey come overhead
A storm will hunt me down
And rip the guts out of my body
That I would surely drown
Thrashing out at torment and pain
The maddened sea engulfs me
I let myself be swallowed up
The magnificent weight upon me
Deeper I go, deeper down
Didn't think it could get any blacker
The cold bites, the pressure builds
I think I no longer matter
When lovers die, friendships fade
When kin all lie forgotten
The gates of agony spew forth
Your memories, stinking and rotten
So deep now, I feel so numb
Ravaged by utter loss
The guilt, the grief, the astounding pain
My body, they all will wash
I hope I ne'er return to life
Oh, Christ, just let me go
Let death devour my simple soul
Lest my misery grow
