Echoes of words, ghosts of thoughts that once were full
A haunting melody that beats against my skull
A sea of emotion that floods all around
A voice of reason yet to be found
The weight of the world, a burden too great to bear
A soul too heavy, too heavy to repair
My heart beats on, but my mind is spent
A life of headstones and monuments
I ache for release, a break from the pain
A sanctuary where solace can reign
But still, the chiming of syllables in my skull
A never-ending tune that leaves me dull
