As I stand atop this mountain of thoughts
Staring downward into despair
These clouds hide my vision...things are so unclear
I reach for spiraling stars
Their beauty overwhelms me
Suddenly my balance is lost
I cannot fly, cannot reach, I simply cannot die
Falling, failing, pain and wailing
Face in hands, tears in my heart
My fears and sorrows never depart
So motionless I stand again
In the middle of this lasting despair
I can't see the beauty around me but I feel it's still there
Faces in the clouds, gone in a breath
My torment the holy trinity
My utter damnation
