Assemblage 23
Barren
Enough
I’ve taken all I can take
My heart is arid
My soul is barren

Devoid
Of function and of form
I feel so empty
An ache inside of me

Unrestrained and unrelenting
Emotions flood and then subside
The days decay like fading echoes
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Sustain
A will to carry on
A silent burden
A voyage uncertain

Detached
From reason and desire
Go through the motions
With false devotion

Unrestrained and unrelenting
Emotions flood and then subside
The days decay like fading echoes
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
