Moonlight bleeds across the waves,

Silver scars upon the tide.

I wade through whispers of your name,

As memory drags me deep inside.

Cold currents pull me further down,

Where sunlight dares not roam

I’m tethered to these haunted sounds,

A captive far from home.

Salt and sorrow mix as one,

Each breath a bitter taste

I search for shores that no longer run,

Through waters laid to waste.

Your laughter drifts on shattered spray,

A ghost I cannot find

I’m adrift where darkness sways,

Forsaken in my mind.

And every wave that breaks my hope

Beats like a ruined drum

Still I rise to try and cope,

Though the depths will never come.

In the darkwater I will fight,

But I’m fading in the blackest night

All these tides of grief collide,

Pull me under where I hide.

In the darkwater I remain,

Broken by the memory’s pain

If I’m lost beyond the shore,

Let me feel you once more.

Driftwood dreams slip through my hands,

Floating far from who we were

I call your name across these lands,

But echoes only stir.

A lantern burns with bleeding flame,

Against the ocean’s cry

I cling to hope within the flame,

Though all the stars may die.

And every wave that breaks my hope

Beats like a ruined drum

Still I rise to try and cope,

Though the depths will never come.

In the darkwater I will fight,

But I’m fading in the blackest night

All these tides of grief collide,

Pull me under where I hide.

In the darkwater I remain,

Broken by the memory’s pain

If I’m lost beyond the shore,

Let me feel you once more.

I’ll build a raft from broken dreams,

Set a course by whispered beams

Even if the sea consumes,

I’ll chase your fading tune.

In the darkwater I will fight,

Till I’m pulling through the pale daylight

All these tides of grief collide,

But I still hold you deep inside.

In the darkwater I remain,

Yet your voice can break these chains

If I’m lost beyond the shore,

Let your love come back once more.
